The document describes the simplex method for solving linear programming problems. It begins with an example problem of maximizing beer production given constraints on barley and corn supplies. It introduces slack variables to transform inequalities into equalities. The coefficients are written in a tableau and an initial basic feasible solution is chosen. Gaussian elimination is performed to introduce new basic variables while removing others. The process is repeated, moving through the feasible space, until an optimal solution is found without any negative entries in the objective function row. Duality between minimizing costs and maximizing profits is also discussed.

MVPA with SpaceNet: sparse structured priorsElvis DOHMATOB
The GraphNet (aka S-Lasso), as well as other “sparsity + structure” priors like TV (Total-Variation), TV-L1, etc., are not easily applicable to brain data because of technical problems
relating to the selection of the regularization parameters. Also, in
their own right, such models lead to challenging high-dimensional optimization problems. In this manuscript, we present some heuristics for speeding up the overall optimization process: (a) Early-stopping, whereby one halts the optimization process when the test score (performance on leftout data) for the internal cross-validation for model-selection stops improving, and (b) univariate feature-screening, whereby irrelevant (non-predictive) voxels are detected and eliminated before the optimization problem is entered, thus reducing the size of the problem. Empirical results with GraphNet on real MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) datasets indicate that these heuristics are a win-win strategy, as they add speed without sacrificing the quality of the predictions. We expect the proposed heuristics to work on other models like TV-L1, etc.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Simplex Method
First step: enlarge the space, 10x1 + 14x2 ≤ 280 becomes 10x1 + 14x2 − u1 = 280
(so called slack variables)
max 40x1 + 30x2
s.t. 10x1 + 14x2 + u1 = 280
s.t. 2x1 + 5x2 + u2 = 100
s.t. x1, x2, u1, u2 ≥ 0
summarized in the following table, see wikibook

Simplex Method
Consider a linear programming problem written in a standard form.
min cT
x (1a)
subject to
Ax = b , (1b)
x ≥ 0 . (1c)
Where x ∈ Rn
, A is am × n matrix, b ∈ Rm
and c ∈ Rn
.
Assume that rank(A) = m (rows of A are linearly independent)
Introduce slack variables to turn inequality constraints into equality constraints
with positive unknowns : any inequality a1 x1 + · · · + an xn ≤ c can be replaced
by a1 x1 + · · · + an xn + u = c with u ≥ 0.
Replace variables which are not sign-constrained by differences : any real number
x can be written as the difference of positive numbers x = u − v with u, v ≥ 0.

Write the coefficients of the problem into a tableau
x1 x2 u v s1 s2 s3
1 1 −1 1 0 0 0 1
2 −1 −2 2 1 0 0 5
1 −1 0 0 0 1 0 4
0 1 1 −1 0 0 1 5
−1 −2 −3 3 0 0 0 0
with constraints on top and coefficients of the objective function are written in a
separate bottom row (with a 0 in the right hand column)
we need to choose an initial set of basic variables which corresponds to a point in
the feasible region of the linear program-ming problem.
E.g. x1 and s1, s2, s3

Simplex Method
Use Gaussian elimination to (1) reduce the selected columns to a permutation of
the identity matrix (2) eliminate the coefficients of the objective function

0 −2 1 −1 0 1 0 3
0 1 1 −1 0 0 1 5
0 −1 −4 4 0 0 0 1
the objective function row has at least one negative entry

This new basic variable is called the entering variable. Correspondingly, one
formerly basic variable has then to become nonbasic, this variable is called the
leaving variable.

Simplex Method
The entering variable shall correspond to the column which has the most
negative entry in the cost function row
the most negative cost function coefficient in column 3, thus u shall be the
entering variable
The leaving variable shall be chosen as follows : Compute for each row the ratio
of its right hand coefficient to the corresponding coefficient in the entering
variable column. Select the row with the smallest finite positive ratio. The
leaving variable is then determined by the column which currently owns the pivot
in this row.
The smallest positive ratio of right hand column to entering variable column is in
row 3, as

<

. The pivot in this row points to s2 as the leaving variable.

Consider a transportation problem.
Some good is available at location A (at no cost) and may be transported to
locations B, C, and D according to the following directed graph

On each of the edges, the unit cost of transportation is cj for j = 1, . . . , 5.
At each of the vertices, bi units of the good are sold, where i = B, C, D.
How can the transport be done most efficiently?

14. Arthur Charpentier, Master Statistique Économétrie - Université Rennes 1 - 2017
Duality
Let xj denotes the amount of good transported through edge j
We have to solve
minimize {c1 x1 + · · · + c5 x5} (2)
subject to
x1 − x3 − x4 = bB , (3)
x2 + x3 − x5 = bC , (4)
x4 + x5 = bD . (5)
Constraints mean here that nothing gets lost at nodes B, C, and D, except what
is sold.

15. Arthur Charpentier, Master Statistique Économétrie - Université Rennes 1 - 2017
Duality
Alternatively, instead of looking at minimizing the cost of transportation, we seek
to maximize the income from selling the good.
maximize {yB bB + yC bC + yD bD} (6)
subject to
yB − yA ≤ c1 , (7)
yC − yA ≤ c2 , (8)
yC − yB ≤ c3 , (9)
yD − yB ≤ c4 , (10)
yD − yC ≤ c5 . (11)
Constraints mean here that the price difference cannot not exceed the cost of
transportation.

Duality
The minimal cost and the maximal income coincide, i.e., the two problems are
equivalent. More precisely, there is a strong duality theorem
Theorem The primal problem has a nondegenerate solution x if and only if the
dual problem has a nondegenerate solution y. And in this case yT
b = cT
x.
