Our topic is around the Dynamics and noise in optimization algorithms. And our research is based on the Gradient Descent algorithm and extends the algorithm by certain variations, as we called Linearized Bregman and Iterative Shrinkage Thresholding Algorithm. We will examine the choice of different variations and mimic what in real world works best for each algorithm. Yeah, so stay tuned, and we will be talking more in our presentation!
