Reviews and comments:
Amazing, must watch
crystal clear!
Video is very good, but can we not use rtmp? I would like to save the video so that I can watch it even when I am offline.
So, is the relation between a covariance and inverse covariance like between posterior and prior distributions?
video is good, audio is poor though, hard to understand the speaker. My kingdom for a mic!
What software is he using to generate the graphics in real-time?
Very engaging and intuitive intro to gaussian processes.
Highly recommended.
Excellent lecture, spoilt by shoddy camera work!
A little hard to follow because he goes along without explaining why or how.
If the lecturer is reading this--I would use a ggplot geom_smooth / geom_path sort of deal rather than the video. The video is not Tufte-compliant because it shows the method more than the data.
For those having trouble viewing the videos, like me, stream the mms:// url with mplayer, that worked better for me than the site. I used mplayer -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all mms://velblod2.ijs.si:80/v000/3c/hsnlqwdrqmxwtuvwnxaxx3hxibqyhld.wmv.
