 Discussion of Function Specification for Dataset Types
 ======================================================
 
+Some talking points from the September 2 meeting:
+
+ * Datasets as views/tasks (Pascal Vincent's idea): our dataset specification
+ needs to be flexible enough to accommodate different (sub)tasks and views of
+ the same underlying data.
+ * Datasets as probability distributions from which one can sample.
+ * Our specification should allow transparent handling of infinite datasets (or
+ simply datasets which cannot fit in memory)
+ * GPU/buffering issues.
