Colloquium on Digital Transformation Science
April 8, 3 pm CT Recent Advances in Analysis of Implicit Bias of Gradient Descent on Deep NetworksMatus Telgarsky, Assistant Professor of Computer Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign The purpose of this talk is to highlight three recent directions in the study of implicit bias, a promising approach to developing a tight generalization theory for deep networks interwoven with optimization. The first direction is a warm-up with purely linear predictors: here, the implicit bias perspective gives the fastest known hard-margin SVM solver! The second direction is on the early training phase with shallow networks: here, implicit bias leads to good training and testing error, with not just narrow networks but also arbitrarily large ones. The talk concludes with deep networks, providing a variety of structural lemmas that capture foundational aspects of how weights evolve for any width and sufficiently large amounts of training. This is joint work with Ziwei Ji. Matus Telgarsky is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, specializing in deep learning theory. He received a PhD at the University of California, San Diego under Sanjoy Dasgupta. He co-founded the Midwest ML Symposium in 2017 with Po-Ling Loh and organized a Simons Institute summer 2019 program on deep learning with Samy Bengio, Aleskander Madry, and Elchanan Mossel. He received an NSF CAREER Award in 2018. |
