Learning Graphical Models in High Dimensional Settings

 04 - 07 Apr 2017

ICMS, 15 South College Street Edinburgh

Scientific Organiser

  • Robin Evans, University of Oxford
  • Sofia Massa, University of Oxford
  • Marco Scutari, University of Oxford

Objectives

  1. To promote the development of new cutting-edge research at the interface of theory, modelling and applications for multivariate dependences, in order to face the challenges presented when trying to model large and complex data sets.  This happened through an extensive exchange of ideas between leading researchers who use multivariate modelling in applied contexts and leading experts in the theoretical aspects of graphical models

  2. To stimulate the collaboration between researchers from different institutions to provide opportunities for young researchers

  3. To help meet the theoretical, methodological and applied challenges in extending graphical models to higher dimensional settings
