Optimization for ML: From Theory to Practice and Back – Filip Hanzely [online]

  Machine learning

Abstract:
Most of supervised machine learning problems, including deep learning, are routinely solved via optimization recently. We will discuss several widely used optimization algorithms and mention how the current theory is (not) reflected in the practice. Lastly, we will talk about several challenges the field is currently facing.
