Synopsis:

The course focuses on optimization problems that appear in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Students broaden their knowledge of continuous optimization obtained in the course Mathematics for informatics. The methods are explained and described along with the details on how they are implemented on computers. Hence, the relevant concepts of numerical matematics, mainly numerical linear algebra, are explained too.

Requirements:

NIE-MPI

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Continuous optimization: problem statement and machine learning examples.

2. - 3. (2) Iterative methods for finding local extremal values (gradient descent, Newton's method, and their variants).

4. Lagrange method, Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions.

5. Duality and interior point method.

6. - 7. (2) QR decomposition, algorithms computing QR decomposition, QR algorithm.

8. - 9. (2) Linear regression and least squares method: statistical and numerical properties.

10. - 11. (2) Support Vector Machines regression.

12. - 13. (2) Matrix factorizations and their usage in machine learning (SVD, PCA, non-negative factorization).

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Iterative methods for local extrema

2. Constrained optimization

3. Duality

4. Matrix factorizations

5. SVD, PCA

6. SVM
