Description
Dr. Zhao will present novel applications of the majorization-minimization (MM) principle in the big data setting. He will discuss derivation of a parallel block least squares algorithm that allows parallel update of regression coefficients with a large feature matrix partitioned by columns; a deweighting technique for weighted least squares; and an MM algorithm for fitting large-scale variance component model that provably converges faster than the classical EM algorithm.
