Sara van de Geer: Tukey Lecture
We are very pleased to announce that Sara van de Geer will deliver the Tukey Lecture at the Bernoulli-IMS 10th World Congress in Probability and Statistics.
In the Tukey Lecture Sara van de Geer talks about Max-margin classification and other interpolation methods. In her talk she will discuss methods that do the opposite of detective work: data interpolation. This was often considered forbidden, but then again, statistical paradigms are not to be sanctified. This is a joint work with Geoffrey Chinot, Felix Kuchelmeister and Matthias Löffler.
The Tukey Lecture is dedicated to John W. Tukey, a mathematician who made an immense diversity of contributions to science, government and industry. The Tukey Lecturer is chosen every four years by the Bernoulli Society Subcommittee on Named Lectures for the World Congress; it is one of the highest academic honours bestowed by the Bernoulli Society.
The 10th World Congress in Probability and Statistics is organized by the Bernoulli Society and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, from 19 to 23 July 2021. It is hosted by the Korean Statistical Society at Seoul National University and will take place online. external pageConference website
