Optimization, learning and high-dimensional macroscopic limits:
The last decade has seen the emergence of new phenomena where complex statistical learning problems such as high-dimensional regression and classification can be accurately summarized by simple systems of equations. These simple systems of equations characterize the high-dimensional limit of the statistical learning problem at hand and provide new insights on regularization and the choice of statistical estimators in high-dimension. The project will explore problems in this line of though, requiring and developing skills in probability, statistical/machine learning, numerical programming and computational linear algebra (From DIMACS Website).
