René Vidal PhD, Herschel L. Seder Professor of Biomedical Engineering and ICM core faculty member and his team have received a National Science Foundation-Simons Foundation’s Research Collaborations on the Mathematical and Scientific Foundations of Deep Learning (MoDL) award.
 

This “Collaborative Research: Transferable, Hierarchical, Expressive, Optimal, Robust, and Interpretable NETworks (THEORINET)” award will support René and his team as they develop a mathematical, statistical, and computational framework to explain the success and pitfalls of current deep network architectures, as well as guide the design of novel architectures with guaranteed performance. This project will also generate new undergraduate and graduate research programs, providing a new STEM workforce with essential and competitive data science skills.
