Dear all,

This is to remind you of the mini-course Boris Hanin (Princeton University) will give at Tor Vergata next week. Here is a schedule and updated program of the course:

Neural Networks and Gaussian Processes

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

The course will be self-contained and requires no particular background on the field.

All the lectures will be held in Aula Dal Passo, Department of Mathematics - Tor Vergata university, and we do encourage in-person participation. Do not hesitate to contact me for any further question (including directions!).

Should you be unable to come, here is the link to the event on Teams:

The mini-course is organized by RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php).

Best,
