Computational and Applied Mathematics Seminar: Wenjing Liao, Georgia Institute of Technology, Exploiting Low-Dimensional Data Structures in Deep Learning

March 29 | 12:45 pm - 1:45 pm EDT

In the past decade, deep learning has made astonishing breakthroughs in various real-world applications. It is a common belief that deep neural networks are good at learning various geometric structures hidden in data sets. One of the central interests in deep learning theory is to understand why deep neural networks are successful, and how they utilize low-dimensional data structures. In this talk, I will present some statistical learning theory of deep neural networks where data are concentrated on or near a low-dimensional manifold. The learning tasks include regression, classification, feature representation and operator learning. When data are sampled on a low-dimensional manifold, the sample complexity crucially depends on the intrinsic dimension of the manifold instead of the ambient dimension of the data. These results demonstrate that deep neural networks are adaptive to low-dimensional geometric structures of data sets.
