Talks and Seminars
  • Short Introduction to Proximal Operators Mathematical Perspective on Machine Learning, University of Helsinki.
    Proximal operators are used frequently in optimisation because they generalise well to high dimensional problems and work with non-smooth functions. During the seminar, I will introduce the proximal operator and give an overview of its basic properties. I will also give some examples of proximal algorithms for minimisation. Finally, I will illustrate a proximal algorithm (Caluya & Halder 2020) to find a numerical approximation of a solution to Fokker-Planck PDE equation.
