この授業のスライド等は主に英語ですが、講義は日本語です。必要に応じて英語でも説明します。
The class slides and materials are primarily in English. The class explanations will be in Japanese, and, if necessary, English.

This courses focuses on different optimization approaches and their relationship with computer graphics optimization, such as colorization, texture synthesis, or shape manipulation. The course covers both convex and non-linear optimization, including discussion on recent developments such as deep learning. Each lecture will attempt to explain the theoretical foundations of a particular algorithm, and then explain real research examples based on the explained techniques.

The course will be evaluated mainly based on a large project and a final exam. The project will be done in small groups and consist of putting into practice the techniques learned in the class.

The programming assignments and project will be done in python using Jupyter notebooks. While the basics of python will be taught in this class, it is highly recommended that students complement this with self-study using the additional resources.
