The document discusses deep kernel learning, which combines deep learning and Gaussian processes (GPs). It briefly reviews the predictive equations and marginal likelihood for GPs, noting their computational requirements. GPs assume datasets with input vectors and target values, modeling the values as joint Gaussian distributions based on a mean function and covariance kernel. Predictive distributions for test points are also Gaussian. The goal of deep kernel learning is to leverage recent work on efficiently representing kernel functions to produce scalable deep kernels, allowing outperformance of standalone deep learning and GPs on various datasets.
