Summary
Universal Model Selection Criteria for Scientific Machine Learning. This project aims to develop provably reliable universal model selection criteria to facilitate trustworthy scientific machine learning. Combining stochastic methods with an innovative geometric approach to basic statistical principles, this project expects to characterise, combine, and refine the most successful heuristics for designing and training huge models, such as deep neural networks, into a cohesive theoretical framewor ....Universal Model Selection Criteria for Scientific Machine Learning. This project aims to develop provably reliable universal model selection criteria to facilitate trustworthy scientific machine learning. Combining stochastic methods with an innovative geometric approach to basic statistical principles, this project expects to characterise, combine, and refine the most successful heuristics for designing and training huge models, such as deep neural networks, into a cohesive theoretical framework. The expected outcomes include a general toolkit for assisting neural network design at the forefront of scientific applications. This should significantly improve the quality of scientific predictions by facilitating confident adoption of deep learning methods into the pantheon of trustworthy modeling techniques.
