Towards a Principled Understanding of Deep Learning
ApplyProject Description
Deep learning models provide state of the art performance on many practical machine learning tasks. However, there is a large gapbetweenour theoretical / conceptual understanding and practice.The intern will work in one of the follow areas, depending on interest and background: - deep learning models- adversarial attacks and robustness- optimization for deep learning- generalization of deep learning- GANs- model compression



About the
Researcher
Peter Richtarik
Professor, Computer Science<br/>
Prof. Richtarik's research interests lie at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, machine learning, optimization, numerical linear algebra, high performance computing and applied probability. He is interested in developing zero, first, and second-order algorithms for convex and nonconvex optimization problems described by big data, with a particular focus on randomized, parallel and distributed methods. He is the co-inventor of federated learning, a Google platform for machine learning on mobile devices preserving privacy of users' data.
