Hi there! I am an aspiring machine learning (ML) researcher who loves to tinker with deep learning models to make them more fun.
I hope to join a great Ph.D. program next this year
(I did).
You can find my contact info to reach out down below.
I can’t think of more to add to the description. So, here is the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) conditions1 until I find the optimal one.
\[\begin{aligned} min_{x \in \mathbb{R}^n} \ & f(x) \\ \text{subject to } & c_i(x) = 0,\quad i \in \mathcal{E} \textit{ (the equality constraints)} \\ & c_i(x) \geq 0,\quad i \in \mathcal{I} \textit{ (the inequality constraints)} \\ \end{aligned}\]Suppose that $x^*$ is a local solution, that the functions $f$ and $c_i$ are continuously differentiable, and that the LICQ holds at $x^∗$.
Then there is a Lagrange multiplier vector $ \lambda^∗$, such that the following conditions are satisfied at $(x^∗, \lambda^∗)$:
\[\begin{aligned} \nabla f(x^∗) - \sum_{i \in \mathcal{E} \cup \mathcal{I} } \lambda^*_i \nabla c_i(x^*) &= 0, \\ c_i(x^*) &= 0,\quad \text{ for all } i \in \mathcal{E} \\ c_i(x^*) &\geq 0,\quad \text{ for all } i \in \mathcal{I} \\ \lambda^*_i &\geq 0,\quad \text{ for all } i \in \mathcal{I} \\ \lambda^*_i c_i(x^*) &= 0,\quad \text{ for all } i \in \mathcal{E} \cup \mathcal{I} \\ \end{aligned}\]Notes
