Course in Bayesian Optimization delivered on October 27-30 at the University of Pereira Colombia (invited by <a href= https://sites.google.com/site/maalvarezl/> Mauricio Alvarez</a>). The material of the course is a mix of the slides and labs written by <a href=" http://staffwww.dcs.shef.ac.uk/people/N.Lawrence/ ">Neil Lawrence</a> and the the <a href="http://ml.dcs.shef.ac.uk/sitran/"> Machine Learning group </a> (first day) plus my point of view on different topics in Bayesian Optimization (days 2 and 3).
