Workshop on STructured OPtimization for Inverse and Learning Problems

September 29 – October 1, 2026 | Lyon, France

Three-day workshop on structured and large scale optimization at ENS Lyon.

Scope and Topics

The workshop aims to bring together experts working on algorithms for structured and large-scale optimization, including their theoretical foundations, numerical implementation, and applications. Central to the workshop is the idea that leveraging the intrinsic structure of optimization problems can dramatically improve computational efficiency. Topics of interest include methods that exploit sparsity, hierarchical and multilevel structures, low-dimensional representations, decomposition techniques, and mixed-precision computations to reduce computational costs while maintaining robustness and accuracy.

Topics include (but are not limited to):

The workshop is free of registration.
