Mathematics of Interpretable Machine Learning

The last decade has seen a dramatic improvement in the capabilities of machine learning methods and their areas of application have exploded, impacting fields from medical imaging diagnosis and algorithmic trading, to product recommendations and molecular biology. At the same time, the increasing complexity of these models-mostly based on deep artificial neural networks-has rendered them less interpretable: it is difficult to understand what input features, and to what extent, are responsible to produce a certain output.


This mini symposium brings together researchers working on computer science, statistics and related areas, to discuss the fundamental underpinnings of explainable machine learning. These presentations will present the latest results on the mathematical formulation, analysis and guarantees for interpretable predictors.

SIAM Conference on Mathematics of Data Science

San Diego, September 26-30, 2022

The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) is organizing its second Conference on Mathematics of Data Science. This conference will provide a forum to present work that advances mathematical, statistical, and computational methods in the context of data and information sciences. The conference aims to bring together researchers who are building foundations for data science and its applications across science, engineering, technology, and society.
