I’ve used duality at least a bit in my subsequent ML classes, so I was happy that the book covered it. I do think I remember it not being used super much in the rest of the book.
Do you mean solving convex optimization problems by solving their dual problems instead?
Yeah, that was one of the applications.
Ok. It’s just that when I learned that, we didn’t even talk about dual spaces in linear algebraic sense, we worked just fine in Rn.
