Seminar • Machine Learning • Backpropagation Beyond the Gradient

Please note: This seminar will take place in DC 2585.

Felix Dangel, Postdoctoral Researcher
Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence

Popular deep learning frameworks prioritize computing the average mini-batch gradient. Yet, other quantities such as its variance or many approximations to the Hessian can be computed efficiently, and at the same time as the gradient mean. They are of great interest to researchers and practitioners, but implementing them is often burdensome or inefficient.

Please note: This master’s thesis presentation will take place in DC 3317.

Matt D’Souza, Master’s candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Ondřej Lhoták

Parametric polymorphism, also known as generics, is an abstraction that lets programmers define code that behaves independently of the types of values it operates on. Generics is a useful abstraction to enable code reuse and improve the maintainability of software projects.
