Machine learning in inverse and ill-posed problems

Description

The information about the course will be here: http://waves24.com/download/

Course plan:
- Physical formulations leading to ill- and well-posed problems
- Methods of regularization of inverse problems (Morozov’s discrepancy, balancing principle, iterative regularization)
- Numerical methods for solution of inverse and ill-posed problems: Lagrangian approach and adaptive optimization, a posteriori error estimation, methods of analytical reconstruction and layer-stripping algorithms, solution of MRI problem.
- Machine learning algorithms in inverse problems: solution of linear and non-linear least-squares problems, classification algorithms, non-regularized and regularized neural networks.
