Machine Learning and How Physicists Can Think About It
Jared Kaplan (Professor, Johns Hopkins University, USA)
Abstract: In the last eight years there has been an explosion of progress in Machine Learning. In this colloquium I'll explain the (very simple) ideas underlying Neural Networks, and give a few examples of their structure and current capabilities. Then I'll survey the increasing scales of data and computation in this field, and make some comparisons and projections to see where it could be headed. If time permits, I'll also discuss my recent work on scaling laws for machine learning, and its connection to language models and GPT-3.
