SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | Neural Networks\, Scaling Laws and Effective Field Theories
DESCRIPTION:Starting from simple curve fitting problems\, I will explain how modern AI works by learning a large number of features from data: wide neural networks fit data to linear combinations of many random features\, and stacking layers to form deep neural networks allows the features to evolve according to data. It has been empirically observed that the performance of neural networks scales as power laws with respect to the sizes of the model and training data set. I will discuss a recently proposed random feature model that captures the physics of neural scaling laws\, and its solution in an effective theory framework using large-N field theory methods. The solution reveals a duality that is indicative of a deeper connection between neural networks and field theories.

SUMMARY:Performance:LACS and Afro-Brazilian Studies Cultural Event. Capoeira with Mestre Lobinho
DESCRIPTION:If you are a fan of Capoeira or are curious to learn more about this Afro-Brazilian art that combines elements of acrobatics\, music\, martial arts\, dance and rituals in an elegant and magnetic way\, come participate with our Afro-Brazilian Cultural Studies course (LACS 455) in this workshop sponsored by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies Center. The workshop will include a presentation\, performance and chance to learn the movements and rhythms of Capoeira.\n\nAbout the instructor:\nFábio Cosmo da Cunha\, known in Capoeira as “Mestre Lobinho” began training in 1998 in São Paulo\, Brazil. He has been teaching in the Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti area of Michigan for eight years. Lobinho grew up in Brazil\, where he first participated in a non-profit Capoeira program for underprivileged kids. By sixteen\, he was teaching classes to adults and soon after began instructing full-time in local preschools. He is well known across the globe.\n\nSpace is limited to 30 participants!
