Diego Cifuentes, MIT, Advancing scalable, provable optimization methods in semidefinite & polynomial programs
ZoomOptimization is a broad area with ramifications in many disciplines, including machine learning, control theory, signal processing, robotics, computer vision, power systems, and quantum information. I will talk about some novel algorithmic and theoretical results in two broad classes of optimization problems. The first class of problems are semidefinite programs (SDP). I will present the…
