Jinchao Xu from Penn State giving the 2022 Ulam Colloquium on May 6 entitled “Mathematical Understanding of Deep Learning”

Abstract: In this talk, I will give an elementary introduction of basic deep learning models and training algorithms from a mathematical viewpoint. Most of the talk will be accessible to an audience with a basic knowledge of calculus and linear algebra. I will also touch on some advanced topics to demonstrate the potential of new mathematical insight and analysis for improving the efficiency of deep learning technologies.
