Here, we show that privileged information can naturally be treated as noise in the latent function of a Gaussian process classifier (GPC). That is, in contrast to the standard GPC setting, the latent function is not just a nuisance but a feature: it becomes a natural measure of confidence about the training data by modulating the slope of the GPC probit likelihood function. Extensive experiments on public datasets show that the proposed GPC method using privileged noise, called GPC+, improves over a standard GPC without privileged knowledge, and also over the current state-of-the-art SVM-based method, SVM+. Moreover, we show that advanced neural networks and deep learning methods can be compressed as privileged information.","lang":"eng"}],"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://papers.nips.cc/paper/5373-mind-the-nuisance-gaussian-process-classification-using-privileged-noise"}],"date_published":"2014-12-08T00:00:00Z","publication_status":"published","citation":{"ama":"Hernandez Lobato D, Sharmanska V, Kersting K, Lampert C, Quadrianto N.
