課程概述

**This is a theory course. You will need to read and write mathematical proofs. There will not be any coding assignments.**

Online convex optimization (OCO) is an interdisciplinary topic, lying at the intersection of machine learning, game theory, and optimization. In machine learning, OCO is a theoretical paradigm that is different from yet has close relationship with statistical learning. In game theory, OCO naturally arises in learning-in-games studies and offers numerical algorithms computing game equilibria. In optimization, OCO provides new ideas in the design of stochastic and adaptive optimization algorithms; the most famous instance is perhaps AdaGrad.

This course aims to introduce basic OCO concepts and algorithms to the students. Tentative topics include
- Basic convex analysis.
- Online-to-batch conversion.
- Follow-the-leader-type algorithms.
- Online mirror descent.
- Solving min-max problems by learning dynamics.
- Adaptive online convex optimization.

The topics may change with respect to the latest development in OCO. 

課程目標
After taking this course, the students are expected to:
- Understand the relation between statistical and online learning paradigms,
- Be familiar with basic online convex optimization algorithms and their performance analyses, and
- Be able to read literature on online convex optimization. 
課程要求
The students are expected to be familiar with calculus, linear algebra, and probability. Knowledge in machine learning, convex optimization, and statistics can be helpful but is not necessary.
