The Abel Prize 2024 is in machine learning? Talagrand: a bad pupil who changed ML

Описание: About two weeks ago, French mathematician Michel Talagrand received the Abel prize, equivalent to the Nobel Prize in mathematics. In today’s video, I introduce you to his life and the struggles he went through, and I show you some of his results that most impacted ML.

On this YouTube channel, I explain research papers in ML and give advice for those who are interested in a career or studies in ML. Make sure to check my other videos.

Whether you are:
a PhD, master or bright undergrad student looking for a research topic and trying to make connections between the many areas of ML
a researcher willing to save time on your research reading
taking a job interview in the tech industry (or quant finance, engineering and many others...)
a software engineer looking for the algorithmic where others usually don't look
or a tech/ML/math enthusiast who is curious to know what state of the art ML research looks like,

there is something for you on my channel, so make sure to check my videos and subscribe for more content.

Most of the theoretical ideas presented are extracted from the book Concentration Inequalities: a non-asymptotic theory of independence, by Stephane Boucheron, Gabor Lugosi and Pascal Massart.
