ML, signal processing, optimizer, very common
shit's hard yo
>Are you a Convex Optimization appreciator?uhh yes?>Do you know people who work in this field or regularly use its tools?industrial engineering and economics lol.>What's hotter?unifying it with euler lagrange or field theory.it ends up as optimal control / pontryagin maximum principle so idk.>Have you learned the KKT conditions and used them since you learned them?>KKT>Lagrange + First order conditions + Complementary Slackness + Slater's conditionsNothing fancyConvex optimization is useful when you want global optimality, can handle inequality constraints, and also works well with nonsmooth or non-differentiable objectives + helps with proof making.>proving necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality
I just monte carlo everything.

Is this a good research field? Is there a decent mix of Industry and Academia available (USA)?Any PhD program recommendation or research labs?
>>16896374yes indeed
>>16897143Optimization is everywhere. But usually people just use ready-made solution, softwares sold by some pajeet company. There are consulting companies that insist on doing custom everytime. But they don't seem to be doing well.
>>16894814I was doing optimization while you had to learn manual construction of a bootloader.
