| | | | This post is a sequel to Formulating the Support Vector Machine Optimization Problem. The Karush-Kuhn-Tucker theorem Generic optimization problems are hard to solve efficiently. However, optimization problems whose objective and constraints have special structure often succumb to analytic simplifications. For example, if you want to optimize a linear function subject to linear equality constraints, one can compute the Lagrangian of the system and find the zeros of its gradient. More generally, optimizing... | |

| | Or, where does that \(\sin\theta\) come from? Integrating functions over spheres is a ubiquitous task in graphicsand a common source of confusion for beginners. In particular, understanding why integration in spherical coordinates requires multiplying by \(\sin\theta\) takes some thought. The Confusion So, we want to integrate a function \(f\) over the unit sphere. For simplicity, lets assume \(f = 1\). Integrating \(1\) over any surface computes the area of that surface: for a unit sphere, we should end... |
