Mission confiée

Deep learning shows significant empirical success in a wide range of applications. However, there is a lack of understanding on the theoretical side: it is not clear in which situations deep learning models generalize well. The PAC-Bayesian theory offers promising perspectives for this type of models [DR17; Per]. However, these bounds do not consider the learning algorithm, which might be key to obtaining tight generalization bounds. In order to reduce the gap between theory and practice (and obtain tight bounds), the hyper-parameters of the learning algorithm could be integrated into the bounds. More generally, integrating the dynamics of the learning processes might tighten the generalization bounds. In this context, the objective of the postdoc is (i) to develop new PAC-Bayesian bounds that take the learning process (and the dynamics) into account and (ii) to derive new learning algorithms based on the minimization of these new bounds [see e.g., Fre98]. For instance, the works of London [Lon17] and Rivasplata et al. [Riv] could be leveraged to obtain tight generalization bounds for models obtained through stochastic gradient descent with hyper-parameters sampled from a probability distribution.
