High-dimensional feature selection and ill-posed inverse problems: The geometry of L1 diamond vs L2 spherical constraint manifolds, proximal gradient operators, and soft-thresholding.
Transcending linear separability: The mathematical foundations of Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces (RKHS), Mercer’s positive semi-definite theorem, and implicit infinite-dimensional embeddings.
The definitive maximum-margin classifier: Vladimir Vapnik’s convex quadratic programming formulation, Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions, and the emergence of sparse support vector representations.
The bridge between classical statistics and linear classification: Ronald Fisher’s scatter ratio maximization, probabilistic generative vs discriminative models, and exponential family link...
From full-batch gradient descent to stochastic approximations: Polyak heavy-ball momentum, Nesterov acceleration, variance reduction, and the analytical derivation of Adam adaptive moments.
The algorithmic engine of machine learning: Convexity, Lipschitz smoothness, strong convexity, condition number geometry, and fundamental convergence rate proofs for first-order optimization.
The classic dichotomy of estimation error: Deriving the analytical decomposition of Expected Prediction Error into squared bias, variance, and irreducible noise, and...
