    r"""Batch Integrated Negative Posterior Variance for Active Learning.

    This acquisition function quantifies the (negative) integrated posterior variance
    (excluding observation noise, computed using MC integration) of the model.
    In that, it is a proxy for global model uncertainty, and thus purely focused on
    "exploration", rather the "exploitation" of many of the classic Bayesian
    Optimization acquisition functions.

            mc_points: A `batch_shape x N x d` tensor of points to use for
                MC-integrating the posterior variance. Usually, these are qMC
                samples on the whole design space, but biased sampling directly
                allows weighted integration of the posterior variance.
            sampler: The sampler used for drawing fantasy samples. In the basic setting
                of a standard GP (default) this is a dummy, since the variance of the
                model after conditioning does not actually depend on the sampled values.
            objective: A ScalarizedObjective. Required for multi-output models.
            X_pending: A `n' x d`-dim Tensor of `n'` design points that have
                points that have been submitted for function evaluation but
