I think most of the GP related work is deciding what the sklearn compatible
interface should be :) specifically how to handle kernels and try to share
with core codebase.
The HODLR solver of George could be very nice for scalibility but algorithm
is not easy. There are a few other options on that front but all are semi
tricky from what I can tell.
Getting GP stuff really nailed will be a good step towards Bayesian
hyperparameter optimization (or one type) which would be a really killer
feature if done and integrated well. But a whole lot of work and random
search is surprisingly good.
W.r.t deep learning what would be added? Gaussian RBM might be nice to have.
