Title: Structural Observations on Hierarchically Derived Reproducing Kernels
Abstract: This talk will be informal. I will describe how convolution neural networks can be viewed within the mathematical framework proposed by [Smale2008] for hierarchically deriving reproducing kernels on spaces of images. I will then show how this axiomatic set-up makes it possible to use Hilbert space geometry in order to determine how certain design aspects (depth, type of neural response, choice of templates) can be traded off against each other.
