The Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI) is offering a summer school program from August 8–12, that will introduce graduate students and early-career researchers in the mathematical and statistical sciences to the mathematical and statistical approaches in optimization and their applications.
Each day will be devoted to a specific topic. Topics under consideration include the following:
- E/M and M/M algorithms
- Statistical and mathematical inverse problems
- Optimization under uncertainty
- Convex and semi-definite optimization
- Robust optimization, sparse regression, and stochastic gradient descent
- Mixed integer, linear, and nonlinear optimization
- PDE-constrained optimization
Applications to be considered include machine learning, image and signal processing, and compressed sensing.
The application deadline is June 8.
