  Here are some observations to note while experimenting with the hyperparameters:
76
  * Lengthscale $\ell$ controls the smoothness of the fit. Smoothness in fit increases with an increase in $\ell$.
77
- * Variance $\sigma_f^2$ controls the uncertainty in smooth (in other words, smoothness in the vertical direction [[Slide 154](http://cbl.eng.cam.ac.uk/pub/Public/Turner/News/imperial-gp-tutorial.pdf)]).
78
- * Noise variance $\sigma_n^2$ is a measure of observation noise or irreducible noise present in the dataset. Increasing noise variance to a certain limit reduces overfitting.

+ * Noise variance $\sigma_n^2$ is a measure of observation noise or irreducible noise (aka aleatoric uncertainty) present in the dataset. Increasing noise variance to a certain limit reduces overfitting. One can fix it if known from the data generation process or can be learned during the hyperparameter optimization process.
