Machine/Deep Learning Theory + Physics Seminar

(This seminar has been discontinued since Mar 2023.)

Held in cooperation with KAIST AI (OSI Lab, OptiML Lab), KAIST Physics (CSSPL), and KIAS, this is a special topics paper seminar on machine/deep learning theory and physics. At each seminar, two people present paper(s) of relevant topics. The seminar is held hybrid (in-person for people at the Seoul campus of KAIST, online for others). This is advised by Prof. Se-Young Yun of OSI Lab, Prof. Chulhee Yun of OptiML Lab, and Prof. Hawoong Jeong of CSSPL.
