Status and Future Perspectives for Lattice Gauge Theory Calculations to the Exascale and Beyond
In this and a set of companion whitepapers, the USQCD Collaboration lays out
a program of science and computing for lattice gauge theory. These whitepapers
describe how calculation using lattice QCD (and other gauge theories) can aid
the interpretation of ongoing and upcoming experiments in particle and nuclear
physics, as well as inspire new ones.Comment: 44 pages. 1 of USQCD whitepapers
Optimization Methods for Inverse Problems
Optimization plays an important role in solving many inverse problems.
Indeed, the task of inversion often either involves or is fully cast as a
solution of an optimization problem. In this light, the mere non-linear,
non-convex, and large-scale nature of many of these inversions gives rise to
some very challenging optimization problems. The inverse problem community has
long been developing various techniques for solving such optimization tasks.
However, other, seemingly disjoint communities, such as that of machine
learning, have developed, almost in parallel, interesting alternative methods
which might have stayed under the radar of the inverse problem community. In
this survey, we aim to change that. In doing so, we first discuss current
state-of-the-art optimization methods widely used in inverse problems. We then
survey recent related advances in addressing similar challenges in problems
faced by the machine learning community, and discuss their potential advantages
for solving inverse problems. By highlighting the similarities among the
optimization challenges faced by the inverse problem and the machine learning
communities, we hope that this survey can serve as a bridge in bringing
together these two communities and encourage cross fertilization of ideas.Comment: 13 page
