The first Chinese-Russian Conference on Numerical Optimization and Machine Learning (NOML 2022)

About

The first Chinese-Russian Conference on Numerical Optimization and Machine Learning (NOML 2022) will be hold online, from July 11 to July 14, 2022. This conference is organized by the School of Mathematical Science of Beihang University, Beihang International Center for Mathematical Research, Laboratory of Computational Intelligence of Skoltech, and Center for Artificial Intelligence Technology of Skoltech.

The main aim of this conference is to bring together Russian and Chinese researchers actively working on numerical optimization and machine learning to exchange ideas, views, and new results and to build up contacts for future cooperation. All areas of numerical optimization and machine learning are of interest at NOML 2022. These include, but are not limited to:

  1. Algorithms and theory in nonlinear optimization
  2. Numerical methods for tensor computing
  3. Machine learning
  4. Mathematical foundations in artificial intelligence

This conference is sponsored by National Natural Science Foundation of China.
