This course treats interior point methods for solving linear programming. Especially, students acquire with mathematical theory, optimal condition, polynomial convergence, and computational efficiency of interior point methods.
In addition, this course teats techniques to mining useful knowledge from Japanese documents. Especially, students study various methods of separating words and word embedding.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1. Understand the theoretical properties of interior-point methods for linear programming problems and can apply them to real problems.
2. Understand the theoretical properties of separation words and word embedding for Japanese documents and can apply them to real problems.
