ORIE’s Chen awarded NSF CAREER grant
The National Science Foundation has awarded ORIE Assistant Professor Yudong Chen a Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) grant. The research in this project will cover a diverse set of important statistical and machine learning problems. The techniques developed will provide a refined analysis of the algorithmic performance for average-case problems in statistical settings. This project aims to develop new algorithms and performance analysis for nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization problems that arise in machine learning and statistical settings. Conventional wisdom treats nonconvex and... Read more
