Theoretical Machine Learning Seminar

Hyperparameter optimization: a spectral approach
Elad Hazan
12:30pm

Modern machine learning algorithms often involve complicated models with tunable parameters, called hyperparameters, that are set during training. Hyperparameter tuning/optimization is considered an art. We give a simple, fast algorithm for...

Crossing the logarithmic barrier for dynamic boolean data structure lower bounds
Omri Weinstein
11:00am

This paper proves the first super-logarithmic lower bounds on the cell-probe complexity of dynamic boolean (a.k.a. decision) data structure problems, a long-standing milestone in data structure lower bounds.We introduce a new method for proving...
