Paris, France Inria Temps plein

Le descriptif de l’offre ci-dessous est en Anglais_ **Type de contrat**: CDD **Niveau de diplôme exigé**: Bac + 5 ou équivalent **Fonction**: Doctorant **Contexte et atouts du poste**: The PhD position will be in the framework of the ERC Starting Grant DYNASTY (Dynamics-Aware Theory of Deep Learning). The position might include traveling to conferences for paper presentation. Travel expenses will be covered within the limits of the scale in force. **Mission confiée**: Understanding generalization in deep learning has been one of the major challenges in statistical learning theory over the last decade. While recent work has illustrated that the dataset and the training algorithm must be taken into account in order to obtain meaningful generalization bounds, it is still theoretically not clear which properties of the data and the algorithm determine the generalization performance. In this phd, we will approach this problem from a dynamical systems theory perspective and exploit the fractal structure that the stochastic optimization algorithms produce [1]. We aim to prove that the generalization error of a stochastic optimization algorithm can be understood by using fractal geometry and dynamical systems theory. The results will be evaluated on modern neural networks, and new efficient algorithms will be developed based on the developed theory. References [1] Camuto, Alexander, et al.
