Implementation of Backtracking line search in Deep Neural Networks: Theory and Practice

Tuyen Truong had an undergraduate degree in mathematics from University of Science (Ho Chi Minh City), and a PhD degree in mathematics from Indiana University. After being a postdoc at Syracuse University, Korea Institute for Advanced Study and The University of Adelaide, he came to University of Oslo as an Associate Professor in mathematics. He works in both pure and applied mathematics, with a view towards applications in Deep Learning (which, as an amateur player of the game of Go, he was drawn to through the big news about Alpha Go). He is open to different viewpoints, new discussions and collaborations
