TCS talk: High-rate locally-correctable and locally-testable codes with sub-polynomial query complexity | Mental Wilderness
https://holdenlee.wordpress.com/2015/07/21/tcs-talk-high-rate-locally-correctable-and-locally-testable-codes-with-sub-polynomial-query-complexity
Holden Lee's Blog. July 21, 2015. TCS talk: High-rate locally-correctable and locally-testable codes with sub-polynomial query complexity. From a talk by Noga Ron-Zewi. Such a result was previously not known for any sub-linear query complexity. If time permits I will also discuss a very recent work that substantially improves the query complexity of LTCs to quasi-polylogarithmic function of the form $( log n) {O( log log n)}$. Joint work with Swastik Kopparty, Or Meir and Shubhangi Saraf. All content on ...

Barron’s theorem: Neural networks evade the curse of dimensionality | Mental Wilderness
https://holdenlee.wordpress.com/2015/08/05/barrons-theorem-neural-networks-evade-the-curse-of-dimensionality
Holden Lee's Blog. August 5, 2015. Barron’s theorem: Neural networks evade the curse of dimensionality. I’m presenting Barron’s Theorem in the Machine Learning reading group today. I will state and prove Barron’s Theorem, which shows that 1-layer neural networks can evade the curse of dimensionality. Barron’s Theorem bounds the error of the best neural net approximation to a function, in terms of the number of hidden nodes and the smoothness of the function, independently of the dimension. Seems no one k...
