6.7910[J] Statistical Learning Theory and Applications

()
(Same subject as 9.520[J])
Prereq: 6.3700, 6.7900, 18.06, or permission of instructor
Units: 3-0-9
Lecture: TR11-12.30 (46-3002)

Covers foundations and recent advances in statistical machine learning theory, with the dual goals of providing students with the theoretical knowledge to use machine learning and preparing more advanced students to contribute to progress in the field. The content is roughly divided into three parts. The first part is about classical regularization, margin, stochastic gradient methods, overparametrization, implicit regularization, and stability. The second part is about deep networks: approximation and optimization theory plus roots of generalization. The third part is about the connections between learning theory and the brain. Occasional talks by leading researchers on advanced research topics. Emphasis on current research topics.
