(Lund University (SE))
Description
INSIGHTS (International Training Network of Statistics for High Energy
Physics and Society) is an Innovative Training Network (ITN) designed to
train a group of PhD students in statistical methods and machine learning.
Application of these techniques to particle physics and to things such as
finance and decision making is also a key part of the network. This brief
talk gives an introduction to the INSIGHTS network from a newly
participating PhD student, and will encompass the main aims and structure
of the network, elaborate on the techniques being studied, and showcase
some of the foreseen examples of application of these techniques.
