* Cleans up the `GaussianProcessSurrogate` class * Adds transfer learning tests asserting that the mechanism works regardless of which tasks are represented in the training data
* Define mean functions for the available presets * Pass both mean and likelihood when instantiating preset
The new parameter kind validation step guards us
Until we are certain that we keep it
DevPR, parent is #745 Adds a validation mechanism to ensure kernel factories only produce kernels for search spaces they are intended for. This is achieved via a new `_ParameterKind` flag enum that factories can use to signal which parameter types they support.
Causing some FORBIDDEN issues: sphinx-doc/sphinx#5051
DevPR, parent is #745 Add an adaptive hyper-prior for GP proposed in the paper: **Guanming Chen**, **Maximilian Fleck**, **Thijs Stuyver**.
