67923-01 - Vorlesung: Continuous Optimization 6 KP

Semester Frühjahrsemester 2023
Angebotsmuster unregelmässig
Dozierende Aurelien Lucchi (aurelien.lucchi@unibas.ch, BeurteilerIn)
Inhalt This course provides an in-depth theoretical treatment of classical and modern optimization methods. Specifically, we will discuss the following concepts:

Basic convex analysis
Subgradient methods
Gradient Descent
Convergence rate for gradient-based methods
Optimality and lower bounds
Stochastic Optimization methods
Non-convex Optimization
Lernziele - Equip students with a fundamental understanding of why optimization algorithms work, and what their limits are
- Ability to select optimization algorithms for practical applications that students might encounter in their future career
- Ability to understand and derive mathematical proofs for optimization algorithms
Literatur The first part of the class will cover some of the chapters discussed in the following books:
Numerical Optimization, by Jorge Nocedal and Stephen J. Wright
Convex Optimization: Algorithms and Complexity, by Sebastian Bubeck
Convex Optimization, by Stephen Boyd and Lieven Vandenberghe

The second part of the class will mostly be based on research papers.
Bemerkungen Exceptionally, the first lecture will be given on Monday, February 20 from 4.15pm to 6pm in Alte Uni, Seminarraum -201.
There won't be any lecture on Thursday, February 23rd.

Starting week 2: Exercise sessions will start the second week of the semester and will be scheduled every Monday (4.15pm to 6pm). The lectures will be scheduled on Thursdays from 4.15pm to 6pm.
