Part ISome Recent Advances in Non-Convex Optimization for Machine Learning, Signal Processing, and Statistics

Abstract:

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in utilizing non-convex optimization techniques to tackle machine learning, signal processing, and statistical applications. Although such a development seems to run contrary to the long-held belief that non-convex optimization problems pose serious analytic and algorithmic challenges, it is proven to be practically relevant and opens up an exciting avenue for dealing with contemporary applications. In this talk, I will discuss some of the recent developments and possible areas for further investigation.

Part II: Briefing on the HKPFS Summer Workshop at CUHK Faculty of Engineering



Abstract:

In this talk, I will introduce opportunities for PhD studies at the Faculty of Engineering of CUHK and the available scholarships, particularly the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS). I will also introduce the HKPFS Summer Workshop organized by the CUHK Faculty of Engineering this summer.
