Description

Statistical Physics, Information Theory, applied Probability and their application to machine learning, disordered materials and other compex systems.

Current projects include:

  • Analysis of the generalization ability of neural nets and other learning machines using methods of Statistical Physics.
  • General Bounds on entropic error measures in estimating probability distributions.
  • Worst Case over sequence prediction.
  • Mean Field methods in probabilistic modelling.
  • Bayesian approaches to online learning.
  • Nonequilibrium dynamics of disordered systems.
  • Support Vector Machines
  • Population dynamics.
