Dear all,

In order to start the year in the best possible way, RoMaDS ( https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php ) will host Boris Hanin (Princeton University) at Tor Vergata from the 10th to the 13th of January 2023. Boris will give a 6 hours mini-course about

Neural networks and Gaussian processes.

The course will be addressed also to non-experts of the field, it will be divided in 3 slots of 2 hours each and the tentative program is as follows: 

• Lecture 1. (Tue 10th, 14h00) Introduction to neural networks. Statement of Gaussian Process (GP) limit. Proof of GP limit. 
• Lecture 2. (Wed 11th, 14h00) Tuning to criticality and analysis at large depth. 
• Lecture 3. (Fri 12th, 10h00) Optimization in the GP limit using the Neural Tangent Kernel. Open problems.
  

All the lectures will be held in Aula Dal Passo, Department of Mathematics - Tor Vergata university, and we do encourage in-person participation.
