Course Overview
If you have already learnt about the basics of Algorithms, you are now ready to take the next logical step into more complex algorithms and problem-solving. The idea behind this Advanced Algorithm and Complexity course is to teach you how to build upon the algorithm basics and utilize new ideas. In this course, we will be starting with network flows that are employed in the typical applications like detecting disjoint paths, optimal matching, and flight schedules along with a few other surprising applications like the segmentation of images in computer vision.
In the next segment, we teach linear programming with its application in allotting and optimizing budgets, Portfolio optimization, finding a diet that is cheap and satisfies all the requirements. Further, we discuss the inherent hard problems that have no perfectly good solutions known (and neither are likely to be found) and how you can solve them in practice. The course finishes with a slight introduction to the streaming of algorithms that are used, most heavily in Big Data Processing. These algorithms are mostly designed to process huge data sets without being capable of storing even a single dataset.
