FRG Launch Workshop

• Friday-Saturday October 22-23, 2017
• Nogodan Guest House and Hotel, Jeonnam, Korea

With the incredible success of deep learning, machine learning and artificial intelligence have attracted great interest from the public. The success is widely attributed to several mathematically ingenious algorithms and theories. However, it is also true that to some extent the success relies on the advance of the computing hardwares. Some features remain mysteries, and fully understanding them may bring further advancement of the machine learning. On top of it, its has recently been shown that the deep network architecture shares a common mathematical structure with the tensor network states, which have been developed independently in the field of quantum information theory and condensed matter physics.

The Quantum Control Lab, lead by Prof. Mahn-Soo Choi, is studying the mathematical structure of the deep networks and the tensor network states to reveal the unknown deep relation between the two fields. They are aiming to the develop a machine learning architecture which is specialized for the solution of strongly correlated systems, which are known to be very hard to simulate in conventional methods with classical computers.
