On-line learning
Lorenzo Rosasco
Description
In this class we are going to introduce online learning from three different perspectives - stochastic approximation, incremental emprical risk minimization and game theoretic. We introduce recursive (incremental) and online algorithms for optimizing RLS, and compare their merits.
