1 The adjoint method - Stanford Computer Science
2 PDE-constrained optimization problems Partial di erential equations are used to model physical processes. Optimiza-tion over a PDE arises in at least two broad contexts: determining parameters of a PDE-based model so that the eld values match observations (an inverse problem); and design optimization: for example, of an airplane wing.

In the experi-ments, we use concatenation as the method to combine the vectors. More formally, the only change in this model compared to the word vector framework is in equation 1, where h is

cs.stanford.edustatistics can usually be satisfied by any course in probability taught from a rigorous mathematical perspective. Courses in statistics designed for social scientists generally do not have the necessary sophistication. A useful rule of thumb is that courses satisfying this requirement must have a calculus prerequisite. 3.
