<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">This two-day workshop aims to bring together experts in machine learning, applied mathematics, signal processing, and optimization, and to share recent progress and
foster collaborations on mathematical foundations of deep learning. We would like to stimulate vibrate discussions towards bridging the gap between the theory and practice of deep learning by developing more principled and unified mathematical framework based
on the theory and methods for learning low-dimensional models in high-dimensional space.
