Abstract: This paper aims to motivate stochastic optimization problems from a statistical perspective and a statistical learning perspective, where the goal is to maximize the log-likelihood or minimize the population risk. We briefly describe the two main approaches: offline (Monte Carlo / Sample Average Approximation) and online (Stochastic Approximation) approaches -- to solve the expectation minimization problems.
