Gaussian Processes, not quite for dummies

Re:Gaussian Processes, not quite for dummies by bhl on Tuesday September 17, 2019 @05:50PM (#21000441)

The n parameter there was the number of datapoints, not the size of the inputs (that would've been way worse). For brain imaging, is the 100k parameter also referencing datapoints, or dimensionality of the input?

Chapter 8 of the Rasmussen reference does talk about approximation methods for large datasets, but I couldn't find any reference implementations to go off of.

"number of datapoints, not the size of the inputs"

For brain imaging, 100k was 'the dimensionality of the input' (but also the number of datapoints). This could easily be O(10^6) though with higher res imaging.

I'd check out, for discussion:

Based on the people involved knowing what they are talking about, rather than on experience using that particular work.
