Advances in training models with log-linear structures, with topics including variable selection, the geometry of neural nets, and applications.Log-linear models play a key role in modern big data and
In nearly all machine learning, decisions must be made given current knowledge. Surprisingly, making what is believed to be the best decision is not always the best strategy, even when learning in a s
The goal of structured prediction is to build machine learning models that predictrelational information that itself has structure, such as being composed of multiple interrelatedparts. These models,
Sparse modeling is a rapidly developing area at the intersection of statisticallearning and signal processing, motivated by the age-old statistical problem of selecting a smallnumber of predictive var
The interplay between optimization and machine learning is one of the most importantdevelopments in modern computational science. Optimization formulations and methods are proving tobe vital in design
