Eindhoven Stochastics Seminar
(please note: different room!!) Johannes Schmidt-Hieber (UTwente) Towards a statistical foundation of deep learning Recently a lot of progress has been made in the theoretical understanding of deep learning. One of the very promising directions is the statistical approach, which interprets deep learning as a statistical method and builds on existing techniques in mathematical statistics to derive theoretical error bounds. The talk surveys this field and describes future challenges.

Graph Limits
Summary The workshop will address both the basic theory and the applications of graph limits, focussing on graphons and graphexes, as well as various applications. In the last few years several beautiful and exciting developments have taken place in this area. It is therefore time to bring together researchers from different fields, including probability theory, combinatorics, statistics and algorithmics. The workshop will run from Monday morning 09.00 am till Thursday afternoon 17.00 pm Sponsors Organisers Christian Borgs…
