Time: 6:30 pm AEDT

Statistics and Stochastic colloquium (part of the Colloquium Series of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics) at La Trobe University jointly organized with the Probability Victoria Seminar.

Speaker:
Ivan Nourdin (Universitéit Lëtzebuerg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg)

Abstract:
In this talk, we will study the distribution of a fully connected neural network with random Gaussian weights and biases in which the hidden layer widths are proportional to a large constant n. More precisely, we will explain how to prove quantitative bounds on normal approximations valid at large but finite n and any fixed network depth. This is based on a joint work with S. Favaro, B. Hanin, D. Marinucci and G. Peccati.
