A focused workshop on theory-driven understanding of deep learning: generalization, optimization, approximation, representation learning, and operator learning.
Deep learning works extremely well, yet core questions remain open. This workshop brings together researchers to discuss theory that explains and guides practice.
Invited talks + contributed posters/short talks.
More speakers will be announced soon.
