State Space Models for O(Linear/Log) Gaussian Processes

docs Tests codecov Journal arXiv DOI

smolgp is a standalone extension of the tinygp package that implements scalable & GPU-parallelizable Gaussian Processes in JAX using the state space representation. It is particularly suited for integrated measurements (such as long exposures in astronomy), jointly modeling data from multiple instruments, and for scalable implementations of popular kernels that traditionally lack quasiseparable structure (e.g. the quasiperiodic kernel).

The smolgp API is designed to be as similar to tinygp as possible. In almost all cases, you can simply find-and-replace "smol" with "tiny" in your existing code.

Main features

  1. A Kalman filter and RTS smoother compatible with tinygp-like GP kernels.
  2. Scalable (O(N)) solving with integrated (and possibly overlapping) measurements from multiple instruments (see Rubenzahl and Hattori et al. 2026).
  3. Parallelized versions of 1 (see Särkkä and García-Fernández 2020) and 2 (see Rubenzahl and Hattori et al. 2026).
  4. Approximations of popular GP kernels that lack quasiseparability (e.g., ExpSineSquared, Quasiperiodic) that can utilize the O(N) state space solvers.
  5. A convenient and optimally-efficient model-building framework to assemble multicomponent GPs and compute per-component distributions.
