CWI Symposium Day on
Large-Scale and Uncertain Optimization
November 12, 2010
Optimization problems arising from applications such as medical imaging, radiation therapy, machine learning, shape design of mechanical structures and more, pose severe challenges due to the large dimensionality of the design space and the uncertainty affecting the problems' parameters. The four talks in this workshop present some current methodologies and computational schemes addressing the above challenges.
