Fitting smooth functions to data and theoretical understanding of neural nets

Abstract

The PI, Dr. Charles Fefferman, is on a five year plan for two goals- (1) to identify efficient algorithms for fitting smooth functions and manifolds to data, and to prove mathematical theorems underlying these algorithms that conform to classes of data, and (2) to understand mathematically why neural networks can be trained effectively. This proposal is of enormous value from the research results obtained, both the theoretical work for fitting functions to data (e.g., manifold learning in statistics learning) and the applied work identifying useful-useable algorithms in machine learning.
