On November 6 and November 8, 2024 Prof. Enrique Zuazua will give a minicourse at the XVII ENAMA 2024 annual scientific meeting organized by the Institute of Mathematics of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), from November 6 – 8, 2024 at the Brazilian College of Advanced Studies (CBAE-UFRJ).
The purpuse of this meeting is creating a forum for debates between students, teachers and researchers from teaching and research institutions, with the following areas of interest: Functional Analysis, Numerical Analysis, Partial Differential, Ordinary and Functional Equations.
Abstract. Control theory and Machine Learning share common objectives, as evident in Norbert Wiener’s definition of “Cybernetics” as “The science of control and communication in animals and machines.” The synergy between these fields is reciprocal. Control theory tools enhance our understanding of the efficacy of certain Machine Learning algorithms and offer insights for their enhancement. However, this often bounces intricate queries back. The interplay between Control and Machine Learning opens up a new captivating scientific lanscaüpe to be explored but this can be a labyrinthine task. And this is part of the overall ambitious program of developing Digital Twins technologies.
In this talk, we will present some of the contributions from our team at the interface between Control and Machine Learning that can contribute to this ambitious complex task. We will discuss some neural network architectures, whose success for Supervised Learning can be understood from a control perspective and explain how their dimension and complexity can be minimized. The attention mechanism of transformers will also be analyzed. We will also present some challenging open problems.
