SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Normalization effects on deep neural networks and deep learning for scientific problems.
DESCRIPTION:We study the effect of normalization on the layers of deep neural networks. A given layer i with N_{i} hidden units is normalized by 1/N_{i}^{γ_{i}} with γ_{i}∈[1/2\,1]. We study the effect of the choice of the γ_{i} on the statistical behavior of the neural network’s output (such as variance) as well as on the test accuracy and generalization properties of the architecture. We find that in terms of variance of the neural network’s output and test accuracy the best choice is to choose the γ_{i}’s to be equal to one\, which is the mean-field scaling. We also find that this is particularly true for the outer layer\, in that the neural network’s behavior is more sensitive in the scaling of the outer layer as opposed to the scaling of the inner layers. The mechanism for the mathematical analysis is an asymptotic expansion for the neural network’s output. An important practical consequence of the analysis is that it provides a systematic and mathematically informed way to choose the learning rate hyperparameters. Such a choice guarantees that the neural network behaves in a statistically robust way as the number of hidden units N_{i} grow. Time permitting\, I will discuss applications of these ideas to design of deep learning algorithms for scientific problems including solving high dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs)\, closure of PDE models and reinforcement learning with applications to financial engineering\, turbulence and more.

DESCRIPTION:This event is intended to gather leaders from all student organizations to learn about the scariest thing to navigate: funding resources. After a short presentation to equip you with the tools to tackle this monster\, you'll be able to use SPH craft supplies to design your own unique org mascot and dress it (or yourself) up! You'll also get to play a spooky-themed game of Bingo to help you get to know your peers in leadership while you enjoy light snacks. This is intended to be a safe space to talk through anything that might be on your mind\, to talk about what excites you and scares you about the year ahead.
