Statlearn'11 : Workshop on "Challenging problems in Statistical Learning"

17 mars 2011 ... 18 mars 2011

Context and objectives

The workshop on "Challenging problems in Statistical Learning" was held in Grenoble on March 17-18, 2011. This workshop aims to summarize the new and future problems in statistical learning and to give a good idea of what already exists for dealing with these problems.

This event is co-organized by the University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, INRIA Grenoble - Rhône-Alpes, Laboratoire Jean-Kuntzmann and the Statistics and Image group of the Société Française de Statistique.
