Eric Vanden-Eijnden (Courant Institute, NYU) will be our
first lecturer of the new Hot-Topic-Series of our MATH+ Activity Group on
Mathematics of Data Science. His lecture on
"Trainability and accuracy of artificial neural networks"
will take place on Thursday, January 9, 2020 at 16:15 PM in the Main
Lecture Hall
of the Zuse Institute Berlin (Takustr. 7, 14195 Berlin). The abstract
can be found here.
The idea of the Hot-Topic-Series is to invite top international
researchers who very
recently initiated a novel and visionary research direction. The lecture
itself will be
followed by a longer discussion session with snacks and drinks.
The GAMM Activity Group Computational and Mathematical Methods in Data Science will hold its inaugural workshop in Berlin on
The organizers Tim Conrad, Gitta Kutyniok, Christof Schuette and Martin Stoll proudly present the plenary speakers
Francis Bach (INRIA),
Alexandra Carpentier (Uni Magdeburg) and
Arnulf Jentzen (ETH Zurich).
Additionally the program is complemented by invited speakers working on the interface of applied mathematics and data science and a poster session.
The registration deadline is the 15th of September and you can follow the form on the
workshop webpage.

This summer school is aimed at graduate students in mathematics; postdocs are also encouraged to attend. It will offer lectures on both the theory of deep neural networks, and related questions such as generalization, expressivity, or explainability, as well as on applications of deep neural networks (e.g. to PDEs, inverse problems, or specific real-world problems). Please note that BMS students may register for the summer school by April 8, 2019 by sending an email to summerschool@math-berlin.de.
The first week will be devoted to the theory of deep neural networks, while the second week has a focus on applications. The format is dominated by 1,5 hour lectures by international experts. In addition, there will also be a poster session for the participants.
Our Speakers include: Taco Cohen (Qualcomm), Francois Fleuret (IDIAP | EPF, Lausanne), Eldad Haber (University of British Columbia), Robert Jenssen (Tromso), Andreas Krause (ETH Zurich), Gitta Kutyniok (TU Berlin), Ben Leimkuhler (U Edinburgh), Klaus-Robert Müller (TU Berlin), Frank Noe (FU Berlin), Christof Schütte (FU Berlin | ZIB), Vladimir Spokoiny (HU Berlin | WIAS), Rene Vidal (Johns Hopkins University).
BIMoS is proud to welcome Carola Schönlieb (Cambridge) as the next BIMoS

Deep Learning is one of the most vibrant areas of contemporary machine learning and one of the most promising approaches to Artificial Intelligence. Deep Learning drives the latest systems for image, text, and audio processing, as well as an increasing number of new technologies. The goal of this project is to advance on key open problems in Deep Learning, specifically regarding the capacity, optimization, and regularization of these algorithms. The idea is to consolidate a theoretical basis that allows us to pin down the inner workings of the present success of Deep Learning and make it more widely applicable, in particular in situations with limited data and challenging problems in reinforcement learning. The approach is based on the geometry of neural networks and exploits innovative mathematics, drawing on information geometry and algebraic statistics. This is a quite timely and unique proposal which holds promise to vastly streamline the progress of Deep Learning into new frontiers.
