LIONS were present at EUSIPCO 2020 with the tutorial entitled " Adaptive Optimization Methods for Machine Learning and Signal Processing".
The 28th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO 2020) was to be held in August 2020 but due to Covid-19 it was postponed.
The event took place virutally from 18-22 January 2021.
Slides to the tutorial can be found on the following site.

T7 - Title: Adaptive Optimization Methods for Machine Learning and Signal Processing

Presenters: Kfir Y. Levy (Technion), Ahmet Alacaoglu (EPFL), Ali Kavis (EPFL) Volkan Cevher (EPFL)

Abstract: In this tutorial, we are going to focus on several aspects of adaptivity for optimization problems ranging from function minimization to min-max optimization, covering applications such as neural network and generative adversarial network (GAN) training, reinforcement learning, sparse recovery and inverse problems. Our exposition will shed light onto the underlying mechanisms and analyses of the algorithms, such as online learning and regret minimization; and the know-how that is needed to make the most of them in applications. We will also illustrate the benefits of adaptive methods over their non-adaptive variants.
