Dynamic Gaussian Processes and the Vanilla-SPDE Exchange

arXiv:2606.31063v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Gaussian process inference is often limited by cubic computational costs, a challenge that becomes more pronounced in spatio-temporal settings where posterior inference is required over dense grids. While state-space SPDE formulations enable linear complexity in time, exact inference remains cubic in space and deteriorates further when observation locations are disjoint from the prediction locations, which inflates the number of considered spatial points. To address this, we propose the Vanilla-SPDE Exchange, which exploits an equivalence betwe

Why this matters
