Gauss invented least squares. Before 1800 IIRC. Also, I had no idea svm predated em. Cool.
As for the gpus... I'm dubious. Most optimization problems I'm aware of are poorly suited for gpu style parallelism. More's the pity.
- nervechannel 16y agoGenetic algorithms work pretty well for obvious reasons.
- Retric 16y agoAn obvious choice would be ridiculously large Neural Networks. However, any problem where you start with a random seed and converge on a solution benefits from starting at several different random seeds to avoid local minima. Also search algorithms (chess programs etc) often paralyze vary well.
