We start with a basic introduction to the deep learning framework Tensorflow. We then review some recent results by D. Yarotsky [1] regarding the approximation of functions in Sobolev spaces by ReLU neural networks. Finally, we will evaluate these theoretical results numerically in a hands-on session, building upon the learned Tensorflow techniques.
Joint session with Rafael Raisenhofer.
