 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

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
