Optimal Weighting for Exam Composition [PDF]

open access: yesEducation Sciences, 2018
A problem faced by many instructors is that of designing exams that accurately assess the abilities of the students. Typically, these exams are prepared several days in advance, and generic question scores are used based on rough approximation of the question difficulty and length.

An optimal method for stochastic composite optimization [PDF]

open access: yesMathematical Programming, 2011
The stochastic composite optimization problem under consideration consists in minimizing the sum \(f+h\) of two convex functions \(f,h\) defined on a compact convex set \(X\subset \mathbb{R}^{n}\), assuming that \(\nabla f\) and \(h\) are globally Lipschitz.

Gradient sliding for composite optimization [PDF]

open access: yesMathematical Programming, 2015
We consider in this paper a class of composite optimization problems whose objective function is given by the summation of a general smooth and nonsmooth component, together with a relatively simple nonsmooth term. We present a new class of first-order methods, namely the gradient sliding algorithms, which can skip the computation of the gradient for ...
