Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics

In the last decade, artificial intelligence, especially the subdomain deep learning, has had a transformative impact on many research areas, ranging from computer vision and natural language processing to medical imaging. However, the mechanisms of these astonishing successes remain mysterious, and the design and training are still largely black box arts. In this talk I will shed some light into the black box by drawing on insights from mathematics, e.g., optimization and differential equations. The deep learning techniques will be illustrated with extensive examples.
