Topics in Optimization for Machine Learning

Dear students,

This is the (final) reminder to please register on LSF, if you have not yet done so.

Thank you to everyone who has already registered for a presentation slot. If you haven't signed up yet, please do so as soon as possible.

Based on the registrations so far, we can confirm that presentations will be scheduled on:

• Dec 19
• Jan 16
• Jan 23

(Friday, 4pm - 6pm)

Please mark these dates in your calendar. Depending on further registrations, an additional slot may be added.

 

 

Dear students,

I have shared an Overleaf document with each of you. Please check your spam folder if you did not receive the invitation, and let me know if you are still unable to access it. The document contains a LaTeX template for the final report and suggested weekly work packages.

The weekly tasks are not mandatory, but they are strongly recommended to help you make steady progress during the semester, rather than rushing at the end. Please verify that you understand your assigned paper. If you would like to swap topics, let me know by the end of next week and include a suggestion for which paper you would prefer.

Please also select a presentation date in the shared Google document. We will likely need only 3–4 meetings for all presentations, so try not to spread them too far apart.

 

Dear students,

Thank you for submitting your topic preferences. Everyone has been assigned either their first or second choice.

Due to scheduling conflicts, Friday at 4 p.m. is the only time that works for all participants. (No meeting this week; the schedule will follow later in the semester.)

Please register on LSF by November 24, 2025 to receive course credit.

For now, please check your assigned topic and the corresponding papers. If you would like to swap topics or papers, let me know soon so that adjustments can be made. Further details about the organization will be shared later this week.
