2022 Ashtekar Frontiers of Science
The AI Revolution: Using artificial intelligence for socially responsible science

Presented by Jinchao Xu
Verne M. Willaman Professor of Mathematics at Penn State

In this talk, Xu will give an elementary introduction of basic deep learning models and training algorithms from a mathematical viewpoint to explain how some popular deep learning models work. Most of the talk will be accessible to audience members who have a basic knowledge of calculus and matrices. Xu will also touch on advanced topics to demonstrate the potential of new mathematical insights for improving the efficiency of deep learning technologies.
