Chapter 12 - On-Device Learning

One of the things we thought of while reading this chapter was that it would be helpful to have some note-taking functionality on the website. If readers could highlight on the site or make comments, we wouldn't need to download PDFs to take notes externally. This would solve a lot of formatting problems we encounter once transferring to PDF format.
This chapter echoes a lot of the information from Chapter 2. Perhaps cut down Chapter 2 and put this chapter afterwards? I have highlighted within the PDF attachment below specific areas that feel repetitive.
Figure 12.2 has already been used in the textbook.
The bullet point format used in this chapter was fantastic!
Video 12.2 had a playback error when we clicked on it.
We didn't really understand Figure 12.6--I would either cut or replace this image.
We wished there was a bit more explanation on IID in 12.5.5 Handling non-IID Data.
