todo

  • maybe open class with regression to see CVXPY examples
    • students won't know convexity at this point
    • but this gives us more examples to work with when explaining convex functions, sets, problems in lecture 2
  • with regression, can explain multiobjective problems
  • give examples with convex problem transformations
  • clean up SVM examples so less code is duplicated
  • but each problem into a function of its own: SVM, SpVC, SVC..
  • make it more explicit that convex <= concave gives a convex set
  • add component-wise composition rule to make more interesting examples

nonlinear discrimination

  • adding features
  • polynomial discrimination any different?
  • rbf kernel? radial basis function
  • kernel methods and relationship with convex opt...

algorithms

  • note that so far, we have said nothing about how to compute a supporting vector
  • we have focused on modeling
  • that's OK, we're focusing on modeling
  • algorithms involve duality and optimality conditions

scikitlearn comparison

  • make sure it matches up with python SVM formulation
  • maybe even do a timing comparison...

data science perspective

  • cleaning and centering data
  • sparse predictors

lecture ideas

  • multiclass SVM
  • max flow, multicommodity flow
  • optimal evacuation plan

homework

  • given list of spheres (point in R^n and radius), find a point in the intersection
  • find a point in intersection furthest in x direction
  • intersection of "diamonds" l1-ball?
  • ooh: list of norm balls: center, norm, raidus. find intersection
  • polytopes: (need to introduce convex hull of points) given vertices of 2 convex polyhedra, determine if they intersect.
  • hyperplane version of polytope?

diet problem

  • list of foods with nutrients
  • min and max healthy range for each nutrient
  • find a healthy diet
