On September 10, 2024, the Learning Theory and Algorithms Research Area hosted a seminar titled "The Least Mean Fourth Algorithm: A Myth or Reality?" Led by Dr. Azzedine Zerguine, the Research Area Coordinator, the seminar introduced attendees to the research area and delved into the realities of the LMF algorithm. Dr. Zerguine explored its theoretical foundations, potential advantages, and practical applicability, questioning whether it can be effectively implemented or remains more myth than reality. The event fostered interactive discussions with students, providing a platform to examine recent advancements and emerging trends in this important field.
The following are the highlights of the event:
