Statistics Seminar: Mathematical Foundations for Machine Learning from a Nonlinear Time Series Perspective

Hybrid Event

Presenter: Jiaqi Li, William H. Kruskal Instructor, University of Chicago Description:Modern machine learning (ML) algorithms achieve remarkable empirical success, yet providing rigorous statistical guarantees remains a major challenge, particularly in distributional theory and online inference methods. In this talk, we will introduce a novel framework to provide mathematical foundations for ML by bringing powerful tools […]

AM Seminar: Are Graph Learning Methods Actually Learning?

Presenter: Seshadhri Comandur, Professor of Computer Science, UCSC Description: There has been a lot of literature on graph machine learning over the past few years, and a bewildering array of new methods. This talk is based on a series of results making a provocative argument. Maybe many graph machine learning methods are not really that […]
