Optimization and Deep Learning

The Mines Optimization and Deep Learning (MODL) group conducts research in the intersection of deep learning and optimization. Current areas of interest include inverse problems, learning-to-optimize, applied probability, zeroth order optimization, and implicit deep learning. Our ongoing projects apply these techniques to problems from spatial statistics, optimal power flow, generative models, signal processing, and optimal control.
