| | 1. Low-rank approximation of matrices Let $latex {A}&fg=000000$ be an arbitrary $latex {n \times m}&fg=000000$ matrix. We assume $latex {n \leq m}&fg=000000$. We consider the problem of approximating $latex {A}&fg=000000$ by a low-rank matrix. For example, we could seek to find a rank $latex {s}&fg=000000$ matrix $latex {B}&fg=000000$ minimizing $latex { \lVert A - B...

| | [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...

| | Let $X$ be an $n\times n$ complex matrix. The eigenvalues $\lambda_1(X), \ldots, \lambda_n(X)$ of $X$ are the roots in $\mathbb{C}$ of its characteristic polynomial. We label them in such a way that $\displaystyle |\lambda_1(X)|\geq\cdots\geq|\lambda_n(X)|$ with growing phases. The spectral radius of $X$ is $\rho(X):=|\lambda_1(X)|$. The singular values $\displaystyle s_1(X)\geq\cdots\geq s_n(X)$ of $X$ are the eigenvalues of the positive semi-definite Hermitian...

| This article is available as a notebook on Github. Please refer to that notebook for a more detailed discussion and code fixes and updates. Despite all the recent excitement around deep learning, neural networks have a reputation among non-specialists as complicated to build and difficult to interpret. And while interpretability remains an issue, there are now high-level neural network libraries that enable developers to quickly build neural network models without worrying about the numerical details of floating point operations and linear algebra.
