Non-Convex Optimization vs Linear Programming
Developers should learn non-convex optimization when working on problems with complex, non-linear models, such as training deep neural networks, optimizing non-convex loss functions in machine learning, or solving engineering design problems with multiple feasible solutions meets developers should learn linear programming when building systems that require optimal resource allocation, such as supply chain optimization, scheduling, financial portfolio management, or network flow problems. Here's our take.
Non-Convex Optimization
Developers should learn non-convex optimization when working on problems with complex, non-linear models, such as training deep neural networks, optimizing non-convex loss functions in machine learning, or solving engineering design problems with multiple feasible solutions
Non-Convex Optimization
