Optimization for Machine Learning

Data is displayed for academic year: 2023./2024.

Course Description

Concise introduction to modern methods for solving nonlinear optimization problems. Applications of nonlinear optimization in everyday life: from weather-forecasting to the power production management. Unconstrained optimization: line-search and trust-region methods. Constrained minimization: interior-point methods and sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods. Numerical solutions of presented engineering problems will be solved using Matlab.
