[Linkpost] “Lectures on statistical learning theory for alignment researchers” by Vanessa Kosoy
Description
This is a recorded series of lectures and homework assignments discussions on the topic of statistical learning theory, co-organized by Gergely Szucs (@Yegreg) and Alex Flint (@Alex Flint). The homework assignments are available here, and lecture notes are available here.
The lectures are intended for those who want to do research on the learning-theoretic agenda and need to catch-up on the necessary background knowledge. As complementary resources, consider looking into my MATS lectures, the LTA reading list and the (not quite finished) sequence on infra-Bayesianism by @Brittany Gelb.
If you feel ready to start with actual research, consider applying to my track in the PIBBSS fellowship.
H/t to my beloved spouse @Marcus Ogren for placing the lectures on YouTube.
