报告摘要:
Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI) dedicated to constructing data-driven parametric predictive models. This presentation highlights the critical role of optimisation in ML, encompassing various phases of the modelling process. It explores three essential ML tasks: 1) selecting model variables through feature selection; 2) determining model parameters via model training; and 3) designing model structures, particularly through neural architecture search. All these tasks can be interpreted as aspects of neural model design, where the primary objective is to achieve the highest accuracy in ML model predictions. The speaker will present recent research addressing each of these challenges, offering insights into advanced optimisation techniques within the context of ML.
