Machine Learning - a Paradigm Shift in Human Thought!?

Abstract:

Data are everywhere these days and they amount to an unimaginable variety of views on the world. MRF imagery, digital biopsies, Omics data in personalized medicine, the microwave background radiation of the universe, social network traces, the finacial flow around the globe, etc., digitalization enables us humans to perceive facets of reality in an unprecedented complexity.
With modern computing machinery and i.e., high performance algorithmics we can create model that are too complex to be memorized or even understood by humans but we can control such models and process their predictions. An automated scientific method with algorithms in experimental design, analysis and theory building arises on the methodological horizon and it will transform empirical sciences with many heterogeneous degrees of freedom from a descriptive enterprise to predictive inference. The foremost challenge will confront us with validating these algorithms, especially determining their statistical correctness.
This machine learning disruption will also transform computer science in a fundamental way.


Short bio:

Joachim M. Buhmann is a Professor for Computer Science at ETH Zurich.
He studied physics at TU-Munich and performed postdoctoral research at USC and LLNL in California. Until 2003 he was a Professor for Applied Computer Science at the University of Bonn.
