TLDR
Theoretical results show that the proposed efficient algorithm for L1 regularized logistic regression is guaranteed to converge to the global optimum, and experiments show that it significantly outperforms standard algorithms for solving convex optimization problems.Abstract:
L1 regularized logistic regression is now a workhorse of machine learning: it is widely used for many classification problems, particularly ones with many features. L1 regularized logistic regression requires solving a convex optimization problem. However, standard algorithms for solving convex optimization problems do not scale well enough to handle the large datasets encountered in many practical settings. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for L1 regularized logistic regression. Our algorithm iteratively approximates the objective function by a quadratic approximation at the current point, while maintaining the L1 constraint. In each iteration, it uses the efficient LARS (Least Angle Regression) algorithm to solve the resulting L1 constrained quadratic optimization problem. Our theoretical results show that our algorithm is guaranteed to converge to the global optimum. Our experiments show that our algorithm significantly outperforms standard algorithms for solving convex optimization problems. Moreover, our algorithm outperforms four previously published algorithms that were specifically designed to solve the L1 regularized logistic regression problem.read more

Using patterns of firing neurons in spiking neural networks for learning and early recognition of spatio-temporal patterns
TL;DR: This paper uses a spike timing neural network with axonal conductance delays to learn the structure of spatio-temporal patterns from a small set of training samples and then uses this network for classifying unseen patterns, and shows that this method is robustly detecting the correct class early on.

Convex Optimization
Stephen Boyd,Lieven Vandenberghe +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the focus is on recognizing convex optimization problems and then finding the most appropriate technique for solving them, and a comprehensive introduction to the subject is given. But the focus of this book is not on the optimization problem itself, but on the problem of finding the appropriate technique to solve it.
