This project is part of an initiative between the University of Southampton and University College London, with IBM UK as industrial partner, to bring together bilevel optimization and machine learning experts to explore the most tractable ideas to build optimization
theory and numerical schemes to address timely problems at the intersection of bilevel optimization and machine learning. The aim of this project, as the first step of this collaboration framework, is to review the literature to build a picture of the potential
of bilevel optimization in machine learning. This work will therefore set the foundation of this initiative with the development of basic theoretical and numerical results for a better understanding of the structure of such problems.<br class="x_x_ContentPasted0 x_ContentPasted0">
