Deep learning mathematical optimization

Abstract The field of optimization for machine learning has undergone significant changes in recent years with deep learning models increasing in scale and fine-tuning taking a more prominent role. In this presentation, I will share a perspective on the direction of changes in the field and highlight interesting research directions. I will provide real-world examples of what practitioners want from optimization methods to train deep networks at scale. I will then present my recent work on adaptive methods, such as Adam and Adagrad, and explain how we can estimate the learning rate for these

I am currently a research scientist in Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Science and Engineering Division (CEMSE) at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). I received a B.S. degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from Sichuan University in 2014. In the Summer of 2019, I received my Ph.D. degree in Computational Mathematics under the supervision of Prof. Jinchao Xu and Prof. Jun Hu at Peking University in Beijing, China. From 2019 to 2020, I worked as a Postdoctoral Scholar supervised by Prof. Jinchao Xu in The Center for Computational Mathematics and Application
