Title: Towards the Statistically Principled Design of ML Algorithms

 

Information and Abstract: 

What are the optimal algorithms for learning from data? Have we found them
already, or are better ones out there to be discovered? Making these
questions precise, and answering them, requires taking on the mathematically
deep interplay between statistical and computational considerations. It also
requires reconciling our theoretical toolbox with surprising new phenomena
arising from practice, which seem to violate conventional rules of thumb
regarding algorithm and model design. I will discuss progress along these
lines: in terms of designing new algorithms for basic learning problems,
controlling generalization in large statistical models, and understanding
statistical questions arising from generative modeling.

 

In-Person seminars will be held at Mason Lab 211, 9 Hillhouse Avenue with
