Learning to Plan and Planning to Learn – Learning Club talk by Aviv Tamar

Learning Club BIU - Aviv Tamar Title: Learning to Plan and Planning to Learn Abstract: Two main paradigms for solving sequential decision making problems are planning - searching through possible future outcomes to achieve a goal, and reinforcement learning (RL) - learning reactive policies through trial and error. This talk focuses on algorithmic interfaces between ... Read more

A Convergence Theory Towards Practical Over-parameterized Deep Neural Networks – Learning Club talk by Asaf Noy

 Learning Club - Asaf Noy Title: A Convergence Theory Towards Practical Over-parameterized Deep Neural Networks Abstract: Deep neural networks' remarkable ability to correctly fit training data when optimized by gradient-based algorithms is yet to be fully understood. Recent theoretical results explain the convergence for ReLU networks that are wider than those used in practice by ... Read more

Learning Club talk by Raja Giryes

on Sunday 2.5.2021at 12:00, we will host  Raja Giryes from Tel-Aviv University. Title: Robustifying neural networks Abstract: In this talk I will survey several techniques to make neural networks more robust. While neural networks achieve groundbreaking results in many applications, they depend strongly on the availability of good training data and the assumption that the data ... Read more
