Title: Principled algorithms for finding local minima
Speaker: Oliver Hinder Affiliation: Stanford University Room: MC 5501Abstract:
Convex optimization is the cornerstone of continuous optimization, but many real problems are nonconvex: neural networks, airplane design, water network management, etc. This two part talk explores my work developing algorithms for finding local minima of nonconvex functions.
