ut this shouldn't be hard. And currently I don't think any further constraints to the SDP class are needed. Best Regards Daniel Li From: Ryan Curtin <r...@ratml.org> Sent: 04 April 2018 20:53:52 To: LI Xuran Cc: mlpack@lists.mlpack.org Subject: Re: [mlpack]

Hi Ryan, Thanks a lot for the advice and sorry for late reply. I spent the past two days to went through most of the papers and it really helps. Apart from the previous idea: 1.generate random simple dataset, and compare normal MVU using mlpack Primal dualsolver on it. compare it with the

Dear Ryan, I am currently working on my proposal for the Fixes to MVU and low-rank semidefinite programs and have come up with the following ideas: 1.generate random simple dataset, and compare normal MVU with MVU +LRSDP on it. do visualization of the procedure and the result in 2d/3d. 2.

Hello Ryan, I am Daniel Li, a second-year student studying Artificial in the University of Edinburgh. I write fluent c++ code and is interested in taking up the quest to fix bugs regarding MVU and semidefinite programming in mlpack. I've read about scalable semidefinite manifold learning and
