Data Science Institute Colloquium Series Event: What Can Deep Learning Learn from Linear Regression
OPEN TO ALL ABSTRACT When training large-scale deep neural networks for pattern recognition, hundreds of hours on clusters of GPUs are required to achieve state-of-the-art performance. Improved optimization algorithms could potentially enable faster industrial prototyping and make training contemporary models more accessible. In this talk, I will attempt to distill the key difficulties in optimizing […]
