Statistical aspects related to Machine Learning

Presentation slides from the workshop (restricted access)

University of Oslo and University of Gothenburg invite to an informal workshop within machine learning with a focus on statistical aspects related to Machine Learning.

About

Researchers within statistics from University of Oslo and University of Gothenburg gather to present and discuss their work with fellow researchers.

This workshop is by invitation. Contact Geir Storvik (geirs@math.uio.no) for those at UiO or Rebecka Jörnsten  (jornsten@chalmers.se) for those from Gothenburg if you have not received an invitation, but would like to attend. Conference fee is 4000 NOK, covering accommodation (1 night) and all meals at the workshop.
