Dear all,

This is a gentle reminder for the machine learning course that will take place next week at the Math Department of Tor Vergata university. From the 7th until the 11th of April, RoMaDS https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php will host https://jschmidthieber.personalweb.utwente.nl/ https://jschmidthieber.personalweb.utwente.nl/Johannes Schmidt-Hieber https://jschmidthieber.personalweb.utwente.nl/ (University of Twente) with the mini-course

Statistical theory of deep learning

The schedule is as follows: Mon 14:00-16:30, Wed 14:00-16:30, Fri 14:00-16:30. All lectures will be held in Aula Dal Passo in the Math Department of university of Rome, Tor Vergata.

Here is the program for the three lectures:

Lecture 1. Intro and theory for shallow networks

Perceptron convergence theorem Universal approximation theorem Approximation rates for shallow neural networks Barron spaces

Lecture 2. Theory for deep networks

Advantages of additional hidden layers Deep ReLU networks Misclassification error for image deformation models

Lecture 3. Theory of gradient descent in machine learning

Optimization in machine learning Weight balancing phenomenon Analysis of dropout Benign overfitting Grokking
