From statistical points of view, deep neural networks (DNN) are nothing but a (generalized) regression model, but DNNs have solved many problems no other methods have not succeeded in the past. In this talk, I will explain theoretical advantages of DNNs compared to other nonparametric regression models.

We introduce block descent algorithms for projecting onto Minkowski sums of sets. Projection onto such sets is a crucial step in many statistical learning problems, and may regularize complexity of solutions to an optimization problem or arise in dual formulations of penalty methods. We show that projecting onto the Minkowski sum admits simple, efficient algorithms when complications such as...
