Abstract: Optimization lies at the heart of many machine learning algorithms. In this talk I will first introduce some examples of machine learning problems where the fundamentals of optimization play key roles and discuss recent progress of how these problems are being addressed.Then I will present some of the ongoing work that my group is currently focusing on for large-scale machine learning problems including sparsity, fairness, and generalization.
