QLS seminar (Bruno Loureiro) via Zoom on 8 June 2021 at 15.00 CET

[Quantitative Life Sciences Section]

Dear All,

Today, 8 June at 15:00 CET, Dr Bruno Loureiro (Information, Learning & 
Physics Laboratory, EPFL, Lausanne) will give a webinar titled:

"Exactly solvable models for high-dimensional machine learning problems"

*
*
Abstract:  The past decade has witnessed a surge in the development and 
adoption of machine learning algorithms to solve day-a-day computational 
tasks. Yet, a solid theoretical understanding of even the most basic 
tools used in practice is still lacking. Surprisingly, many of the 
“exotic” behaviours of deep neural networks have shown to hold in models 
as simple as high-dimensional linear regression. In this talk, I will 
introduce two simple toy models describing learning with correlated 
features. Next, I will motivate how these models encompass many learning 
problems of interest, e.g. ridge and logistic regression, kernel 
methods, random features, scattering transforms and transfer learning. 
Finally, I will discuss how these models can be used to approximate real 
data learning curves in some scenarios.
