Topics in Optimization for Machine Learning

Dear Students,

Please note that I had to reschedule our discussion on November 25 to 6 PM (6:15-7:00 PM on Zoom). For those unable to attend, rest assured that the session will be recorded for later viewing (thanks for letting me know that the link was broken!).

• If you cannot attend and have general questions, please feel free to email them to me in advance so I can address them during the session.
• I encourage you to consult additional sources for questions specific to your paper or topic. This preparation will be crucial for delivering a strong presentation on your topic.
• Additionally, please remember to register on LSF if you haven't done so already.

Dear Students,

I have distributed the topics, allowing for choices 3 or 4 where possible. Based on your votes, Monday from 13:15 to 14:00 seems to be a convenient time for most of you to have short zoom meetings during the semester.

Our first meeting will be on November 11, during which I will explain the first writing task. I will also post a video recording, but please attend the session if you have questions (in the following meetings, I will also give some general feedback on the writing tasks from the week before).
