*Who: *         Francesca Mignacco, Princeton University

*Title:*   Statistical physics insights into the dynamics of learning
algorithms
*Abstract:  *In this talk, I will consider prototypical learning problems
that are amenable to an exact characterization. I will show how dynamical
mean-field theory from statistical physics can be used to derive an
effective low-dimensional description of the network performance and the
learning dynamics of multi-pass SGD. I will discuss how different sources
of algorithmic noise affect the performance.

*Bio:* Francesca is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Center for the
Physics of Biological Function at Princeton University and CUNY Graduate
Center. Francesca received her Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Université
Paris-Saclay in 2022.
