Cari colleghi,
lunedì prossimo, 9 Maggio, l'Università di Tor Vergata avrà il piacere di ospitare Lorenzo Rosasco (Università di Genova) per un colloquium sul machine learning.
Il colloquium inaugurerà anche il nuovo centro RoMaDS (Rome Center on Mathematics for Modeling and Data ScienceS) ospitato dal Dipartimento di Matematica dell'università. La lista dei prossimi eventi organizzati del centro è disponibile al link https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php. L'iniziativa è parte del progetto di eccellenza Math@TOV.
9 Maggio, ore 15h00, aula Dal Passo, Università Tor Vergata
A guided tour of machine learning (theory)
Speaker: Lorenzo Rosasco
Abstract: In this talk, we will provide a basic introduction to some of the fundamental ideas and results in machine learning, with emphasis on mathematical aspects. We will begin contrasting the modern data driven approach to modeling to classic mechanistic approaches. Then, we will discuss basic elements of machine learning theory connected to approximation theory, probability and optimization. Finally, we will discuss the need of new theoretical advances at the light of recent empirical observations while using deep neural networks.
Bio: Lorenzo Rosasco is a professor at the University of Genova. He is also visiting professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and external collaborator at the Italian Technological Institute (IIT). He coordinates the Machine Learning Genova center (MaLGa) and leads the Laboratory for Computational and Statistical Learning focused on theory, algorithms and applications of machine learning. He received his PhD in 2006 from the University of Genova, after being a visiting student at the Center for Biological and Computational Learning at MIT, the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago (TTI-Chicago) and the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics. Between 2006 and 2013 he has been a postdoc and research scientist at the Brain and Cognitive Sciences Department at MIT. He his a recipient of a number of grants, including a FIRB and an ERC consolidator.
