Query: Convex programming with fast proximal and linear operators   We present Epsilon, a system for general convex programming using fast linear
and proximal operators. As with existing convex programming frameworks, users
specify convex optimization problems using a natural grammar for mathematical
expressions, composing functions in a way that is guaranteed to be convex by
the rules of disciplined convex programming. Given such an input, the Epsilon
compiler transforms the optimization problem into a mathematically equivalent
form consisting only of functions with efficient proximal operators---an
intermediate representation we refer to as prox-affine form. By reducing
problems to this form, Epsilon enables solving general convex problems using a
large library of fast proximal and linear operators; numerical examples on many
popular problems from statistics and machine learning show that this often
improves running times by an order of magnitude or more vs. existing approaches
based on conic solvers.
