Course/Module description:
We will give an overview of some connections between certain concepts in the theory of machine learning and notions in model theory. These connections were discovered and studied by many people in recent years, and lead to ideas and surprising results going in both directions (from model theory to machine learning and vice-versa).
In the following link you may find a presentation on the subject. The aim of the course is to get into the details and more.
