Gaussian processes for fun and profit: Probabilistic machine learning in industry

Seminar by S.T. John, Senior Machine Learning Researcher, Secondmind Labs at the UCL Centre for AI. Recorded on the 4th November 2020. Abstract When companies, whether start-ups or big corporations, talk about “machine learning“ they usually mean some kind of neural network model. Not always though: I will talk about why instead we put a lot of our efforts on probabilistic models built using Gaussian processes. When a Machine Learning course briefly covers Gaussian processes, you might go away thinking t
