Title:  Overview of Sparse Learning

Abstract:

Sparse learning has been a great tool for Statistics and Machine Learning with many favourable properties. We first give a brief introduction of Lasso, then move to structured sparsity, matrices and so on. We will finish with some modern problems using sparse learning.
