Logistical notes

• Project check-in – let me know how things are going by a week from today (there will be a canvas slot). This can be very short if things are going great, or more detailed if you want some feedback.
• Many of you have done enough for the weekly notebooks! We’ll summarize where people are next week, but would like to shift focus to your project for the rest of the semester.

Scalable GPs and kernel methods

• Picking up topics from last time
• Slides from UChigago lectures
• Some comments on current work

Discussion (12 points, on Canvas)

1. How are things going with the class? Given the constraints of the semester, do you have suggestions for things that you might like to see done differently as we wrap up?
2. Recognizing that students in this class come from a wide variety of technical backgrounds, are there particular things that we have treated as “pre-requisite” or outside the scope of the course that you would have liked to see treated more explicitly (via background readings, recorded supplementary lectures, something else)?
3. Tell me something you think I should know. This can be about the class, about your research, or anything else.
