Abstract

Due to the massive (labeled) data available on the web, a tremendous interest inlarge-scale machine learning methods has emerged in the last years. Whereas,most of the work done in this new area of research focused on fast and efficientclassification algorithms, we show in this paper how other aspects of learning canalso be covered using massive datasets. The paper briefly presents techniquesallowing for utilizing the full posterior obtained from Gaussian process regression(predictive mean and variance) with tens of thousands of data points and withoutrelying on sparse approximation approaches. Experiments are done for activelearning and one-class classification showing the benefits in large-scale settings.
