Decomposition theorem for semisimple algebraic holonomic D-modules
2:00pm|S-101

Decomposition theorem for perverse sheaves on algebraic varieties, proved by Beilinson-Bernstein-Deligne-Gabber, is one of the most important and useful theorems in the contemporary mathematics. By the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence, we may regard...

Towards a better understanding of neural networks: learning dynamics, interpretability and RL generalization
Maithra Raghu
12:30pm|White-Levy Room

With the continuing successes of deep learning, it becomes increasingly important to better understand the phenomena exhibited by these models, ideally through a combination of systematic experiments and theory. In this talk I discuss some of our...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Learning models: connections between boosting, hard-core distributions, dense models, GAN, and regularity I
11:00am|S-101

A theme that cuts across many domains of computer science and mathematics is to find simple representations of complex mathematical objects such as graphs, functions, or distributions on data. These representations need to capture how the object...
