Machine learning is taking the world by storm. There’s amazing progress in many areas that were either considered intractable or had not reached a satisfying solution despite decades of research. A lot of results in machine learning are obtained using neural networks, but that’s just one class of algorithms. Today we’ll look at one key algorithm from meshoptimizer that was improved by getting the machine to find the best answer instead of me, the human1.
