Invitation to the Mathematical Colloquium
Wednesday, May 29, 2024, conference room (R107), 5 p.m. c t.
Prof. Dr. David Rügamer, LMU Munich, Munich Center for Machine Learning, will talk about the topic: "Neural Regression Models".
Abstract: In this talk, I will present my group's research on neural regression models, i.e., regression models embedded in neural networks, and discuss their applications, advantages, and challenges. Recent research integrates statistical regression into neural networks to define models that jointly learn interpretable structured effects of tabular data and additional unstructured effects modeled through a (deep) neural network. To better understand such use cases from a statistical perspective, it is important to address open challenges that exist even for the simpler model class of structured regression models trained in a neural network. This includes aspects such as sparsity, smoothing, and statistical inference, which I will discuss in more detail.
From 4.45 p.m. onwards, there will be an opportunity for all interested parties to talk over coffee and tea in the meeting room (R206).
