Course Description

Overview

Delve into the first part of a comprehensive lecture on generalization theory in machine learning, presented by Adam Oberman from McGill University at the Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematics (IPAM). Explore the foundations of statistical learning theory, its similarities to classical approximation theory, and how it overcomes the curse of dimensionality using concentration of measure inequalities. Examine learning bounds for traditional machine learning methods like support vector machines (SVMs) and kernel methods, while discussing the challenges in applying these bounds to deep neural networks. Gain insights into image classification, hypothesis classes, kernel methods, and the intricacies of statistical learning theory. Investigate the curse of dimensionality, the gap for learning, and various complexities in machine learning. This 71-minute lecture serves as an essential resource for those seeking to understand the theoretical underpinnings of machine learning and its applications in high-dimensional spaces.
