Combinatorial Optimization in Machine Learning and Computer Vision

Dr. Bogdan Savchynskyy, Prof. Dr. Carsten Rother, WiSe 2019

Summary

Machine learning techniques are tightly coupled with optimization methods. Many techniques become practical only if there exists a supporting optimization tool.

In the seminar we will discuss a number of recent articles on combinatorial optimization with applications in computer vision and machine learning.
