*Title:*           Implicit bias in machine learning


*Abstract:  * Most practical algorithms for supervised machine learning
boil down to optimizing the average performance over a training dataset.
However, it is increasingly recognized that although the optimization
objective is the same, the manner in which it is optimized plays a decisive
role in the properties of the resulting predictor. For example, when
training large neural networks, there are generally many weight
combinations that will perfectly fit the training data. However,
gradient-based training methods somehow tend to reach those which, for
example, do not overfit; are brittle to adversarially crafted examples; or
have other interesting properties. In this talk, I'll describe several
recent theoretical and empirical results related to this question.
