A Short Tutorial on Mean-Field Spin Glass Techniques for Non-Physicists
This tutorial is based on lecture notes written for a class taught in the Statistics Department at Stanford in the Winter Quarter of 2017. The objective was to provide a working knowledge of some of the techniques developed over the last 40 years by theoretical physicists and mathematicians to study mean field spin glasses and their applications to high-dimenensional statistics and statistical learning.
