Mean-field Analysis of Generalization Errors

Dr Gholamali Aminian
(Alan Turing Institute)
Abstract

We propose a novel framework for exploring weak and $L_2$ generalization errors of algorithms through the lens of differential calculus on the space of probability measures. Specifically, we consider the KL-regularized empirical risk minimization problem and establish generic conditions under which the generalization error convergence rate, when training on a sample of size $n$ , is $\matcal{O}(1/n)$. In the context of supervised learning with a one-hidden layer neural network in the mean-field regime, these conditions are reflected in suitable integrability and regularity assumptions on the loss and activation functions.

The intent of the Simons Investigators in Mathematics, Physics, Astrophysics and Computer Science programs is to support outstanding theoretical scientists in their most productive years, when they are establishing creative new research directions, providing leadership to the field and effectively mentoring junior scientists. A Simons Investigator is appointed for an initial period of five years. Renewal for an additional five years is contingent upon the evaluation of scientific impact of the Investigator.

The Clay Research Conference will be held on Wednesday, 27 September in L1. The plenary speakers will be Valentin Blomer (Bonn), John Pardon (Princeton), Laure Saint Raymond (IHES) and Chenyang Xu (Princeton).

Associated workshops will be held throughout the week of the conference, 25-29 September:

  • About Entropy in Large Classical Particle Systems 
  • K-stability and Birational Geometry

Loop expansions for lattice gauge theories

Dr Ilya Chevyrev
(University of Edinburgh)
Abstract

In this talk, we will present a loop expansion for lattice gauge theories and its application to prove ultraviolet stability in the Abelian Higgs model. We will first describe this loop expansion and how it relates to earlier works of Brydges-Frohlich-Seiler. We will then show how the expansion leads to a quantitative diamagnetic inequality, which in turn implies moment estimates, uniform in the lattice spacing, on the Holder-Besov norm of the gauge field marginal of the Abelian Higgs lattice model. Based on Gauge field marginal of an Abelian Higgs model, which is joint work with Ajay Chandra.

t-structures on the equivariant derived category of the Steinberg scheme.

Ivan Losev
(Yale University)
Abstract

The Steinberg scheme and the equivariant coherent sheaves on it play a very important role in Geometric Representation theory. In this talk we will discuss various t-structures on the equivariant derived category of the Steinberg of importance for Representation theory in positive characteristics. Based on arXiv:2302.05782.
