Abstract : I will give an elementary introduction of basic deep learning models and training algorithms from a mathematical viewpoint. In particular, I will relate some basic deep learning models with finite element and multigrid methods. I will also touch on some advanced topics to demonstrate the potential of new mathematical insight and analysis for improving the efficiency of deep learning technologies and, in particular, for their application to numerical solution of partial differential equations.

Keywords : deep learning; machine learning; finite element; multigrid
