Description: 

In a society that is confronting the new age of AI in which LLMs begin to display aspects of human intelligence, understanding the fundamental theory of deep learning and applying it to real systems is a compelling and urgent need. This panel will introduce some new simple foundational results in the theory of supervised learning. It will also discuss open problems in the theory of learning, including problems specific to neuroscience.
