David Rosen, Northeastern University Abstract: Many fundamental machine perception and state estimation tasks require the solution of a high-dimensional nonconvex estimation problem; this class includes (for example) the fundamental problems of simultaneous localization and mapping (in robotics), 3D reconstruction (in computer vision), and sensor network localization (in distributed sensing). Such problems are known to be […]

Courtney Paquette, McGill University Abstract: Given the massive scale of modern ML models, we now only get a single shot to train them effectively. This restricts our ability to test multiple architectures and hyper-parameter configurations. Instead, we need to understand how these models scale, allowing us to experiment with smaller problems and then apply those […]
