Abstract
Neural network-based machine learning is capable of approximating functions in very high dimension with unprecedented efficiency and accuracy. This has
opened up many exciting new possibilities, not just in traditional areas of artificial intelligence, but also in scientific computing and computational science. At the same
time, machine learning has also acquired the reputation of being a set of "black box"
type of tricks, without fundamental principles. This has been a real obstacle for making
further progress in machine learning.
In this article, we try to address the following two very important questions: (1)
How machine learning has already impacted and will further impact computational
mathematics, scientific computing and computational science? (2) How computational
mathematics, particularly numerical analysis, can impact machine learning? We describe some of the most important progress that has been made on these issues. Our
hope is to put things into a perspective that will help to integrate machine learning
with computational mathematics.
