Researcher Prof. Grimmer announced two talks this week on "Optimization in the Space of Algorithms" — Monday at Brown and Friday at Cornell. The talks explore metaquestions about the space of optimization algorithms: how to enumerate all optimal first-order methods, and how to optimally adapt an algorithm at runtime. He invites local researchers in the area to reach out.
