Abstract
Behind all supervised learning problems is an optimization problem. Solving these problems reliably and efficiently is a key step in any machine learning pipeline. This thesis looks at efficient optimization algorithms for a variety of machine learning problems (in particular, sparse learning problems). We first begin by looking at a new class of algorithms for training feedforward neural networks. We then look at an efficient algorithm for constructing knockoff features for statistical inference. Finally, we look at $\ell_0$-penalized and constrained optimization problems and a class of efficient algorithms for training these non-convex problems while providing guarantees on the quality of the solution.
