One of the bottlenecks is learning the appropriate kernel. What if you could learn the structure of GP kernels automatically? Sounds really cool, but also a bit futuristic, doesn’t it?Well, think again, because in this episode, Feras Saad will teach us how to do just that! Feras is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University. He received his PhD in Computer Science from MIT, and, most importantly for our conversation, he’s the creator of AutoGP.jl, a Julia package for automatic Gaussian process modeling.Feras discusses the implementation of AutoGP, how it scales, what you can do with it, and how you can integrate its outputs in your models.Finally, Feras provides an overview of Sequential Monte Carlo and its usefulness in AutoGP, highlighting the ability of SMC to incorporate new data in a streaming fashion and explore multiple modes efficiently.Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).
