报告摘要：
Anomaly detectors address the difficult problem of detecting automatically exceptions in an arbitrary background image. Detection methods have been proposed by the thousands because each problem requires a different background model. By analysing key examples of the literature, we show that all anomaly detectors are characterized by their choice among seven fundamental principles guiding the background model and the decision method. We show that these principles can be combined in a general method that uses six of them. Our synthesis reduces the problem to the easier problem of detecting anomalies in noise. In that way, the varifold background modeling problem is replaced by simpler noise modeling, and allows the calculation of rigorous thresholds based on the a contrario detection theory. Our conclusion is that it is possible to perform automatic anomaly detection even on a single image. (Joint work of Thibaud Ehret, Axel Davy, Jean-Michel Morel, Mauricio Delbracio)

报告摘要：
The primary task of many applications is approximating/estimating a function through samples drawn from a probability distribution on the input space. The deep approximation is to approximate a function by compositions of many layers of simple functions, that can be viewed as a series of nested feature extractors. The key idea of deep learning network is to convert layers of compositions to layers of tunable parameters that can be adjusted through a learning process, so that it achieves a good approximation with respect to the input data. 
In this talk, we shall discuss mathematical foundation behind this new approach of approximation; how it differs from the classic approximation theory, and how this new theory can be applied to understand and design deep learning network.
