| | | | | [AI summary] The blog post discusses non-convex quadratic optimization problems and their solutions, including the use of strong duality, semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations, and efficient algorithms. It highlights the importance of these problems in machine learning and optimization, particularly for non-convex problems where strong duality holds. The post also mentions the equivalence between certain non-convex problems and their convex relaxations, such as SDP, and provides examples of when these relaxations are tight or not. Key concepts include the role of eigenvalues in quadratic optimization, the use of Lagrange multipliers, and the application of methods like Newton-Raphson for solving these problems. The author also acknowledges contributions... | |

| | | | | There's a fascinating link between minimization of quadratic functions and polynomials. A link that goes deep and allows to phrase optimization problems in the language of polynomials and vice versa. Using this connection, we can tap into centuries of research in the theory of polynomials and shed new light on ... | |

| | | Recently, a friend recommended me a book, Deep Learning with Python by Francois Chollet. As an eager learner just starting to fiddle with the Keras API, I decided it was a good starting point. I have just finished the first section of Part 2 on Convolutional Neural Networks and image processing. My impression so far is that the book is more focused on code than math. The apparent advantage of this approach is that it shows readers how to build neural networks very transparently. It's also a good introduction to many neural network models, such as CNNs or LSTMs. On the flip side, it might leave some readers wondering why these models work, concretely and mathematically. This point notwithstanding, I've been enjoying the book very much so far, and this post is... | ||
