Introduces a functional framework for deep neural networks with adaptive piecewise-linear splines, focusing on biomedical image reconstruction and the challenges of deep splines.
Covers optimization in machine learning, focusing on gradient descent for linear and logistic regression, stochastic gradient descent, and practical considerations.
Explores the learning dynamics of deep neural networks using linear networks for analysis, covering two-layer and multi-layer networks, self-supervised learning, and benefits of decoupled initialization.
