An Introduction to PAC-Bayes

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Elre Oldewage .

PAC -Bayes is a frequentist framework for obtaining generalisation error bounds. It has been used to derive learning algorithms, provide explanations for generalisation in deep learning, and form connections between Bayesian and frequentist inference. This reading group will cover a broad introduction to PAC bounds, the proof ideas in PAC -Bayes, and a discussion of some recent applications.
