Abstract: We present a simple sparse greedy technique to approximate the maximum a posteriori estimate of Gaussian Processes with much improved scaling behaviour in the sample size m. In particular, computational requirements are O(n 2 m), storage is O(nm), the cost for prediction is 0 (n) and the cost to compute confidence bounds is O(nm), where n «: m. We show how to compute a stopping criterion, give bounds on the approximation error, and show applications to large scale problems. 1
