Hi Daniel,

I took a quick look at your proposal and I think it is relatively clear
and sufficiently detailed.  I am not clear on exactly what you mean by
"5.  it might also be useful to write an algorithm to pre-process the
dataset to make it smoother and convex"---note that the LRSDP algorithm
breaks the convexity of SDPs and it is a nonconvex optimization.

Thanks,

Ryan
