The Institute for Statistics and Mathematics is pleased to invite you to the next research seminar, taking place on campus:

David Rügamer (Department of Statistics, LMU Munich; Munich Center for Machine Learning (MCML))
Semi-Structured Regression: Current Advances and Challenges
Wednesday, March 5, 2025, 17:15, in Building D4, Room D4.0.127.

Abstract:
Neural networks enable learning from various data modalities, such as images and text. This concept has been integrated into statistical modeling through semi-structured regression, which additively combines structured predictors with unstructured effects from arbitrary data modalities by embedding the statistical model into the neural network. This approach opens new opportunities for advancing regression models but also poses challenges, such as increased uncertainty, implicit regularization, and complexities in statistical inference. This presentation will introduce semi-structured regression, discuss recent advances, and highlight the challenges of embedding regression models into neural networks.

We aim to stream all on-campus talks via Zoom. A direct link to the stream will be posted on our website.
