Mathematical Aspects of Deep Learning

In recent years the development of new classification and regression algorithms based on deep learning has led to a revolution in the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analysis. The development of a theoretical foundation to guarantee the success of these algorithms constitutes one of the most active and exciting research topics in applied mathematics. This book presents the current mathematical understanding of deep learning methods from the point of view of the leading experts in the field. It serves both as a starting point for researchers and graduate students in computer science, mathematics, and statistics trying to get into the field and as an invaluable reference for future research. Written by a group of leading experts in the field Presents deep learning methods from a mathematical, rather than a computer science, perspective Covers topics including generalization in deep learning, expressivity of deep neural networks, sparsity enforcing algorithms, and the scattering transform
