This research explores the application of derivative information in Gaussian Process regression models for Batch Active Learning (BAL). The authors propose an innovative approach that leverages the predictive covariance matrix to select data batches, capitalizing on the full correlation between samples. A theoretical analysis is conducted, considering various optimality criteria, and empirical comparisons are provided to highlight the benefits of incorporating derivative information. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach across diverse applications.

Gaussian Process regression models are used in Batch Active Learning (BAL) with a new twist! Researchers found that using “derivative information” helps make better choices when selecting data for training and testing. This approach looks at how closely related different data points are, which can lead to more accurate predictions. The study shows that this method works well across many different scenarios.
