地点:FIT Lecture Hall
内容:

Deep learning has proved very successful at a host of AI/ML tasks recently, but theoretical understanding of this technique has lagged. The talk will survey ongoing efforts to understand the success of this method, including optimization aspects and a magical ability of vast nets to not overfit on tiny data sets. The talk will be self-contained.
