2006-07 Program on High Dimensional Inference and Random MatricesWorkshop on Geometry, Random Matrices, and Statistical InferenceJanuary 16-19, 2007 at SAMSI
General Information
General InformationGeometry, Random matrices, and Statistical Inference is a workshop within the SAMSI program on High Dimensional Inference and Random Matrices. It will be held January 16-19, 2007 at the NISS Building in Research Triangle Park, NC. The four day workshop will begin the semester long focus on Geometry and Random Matrices. Both algorithms and the fundamental mathematical objects computed by the algorithms will be stressed. This workshop will be followed by a semester long working group on "Geometry, Random Matrices, and Statistical Inference." It will be a part of the High Dimensional Inference and Random Matrices Program at SAMSI. The format of the workshop will be two talks in the morning and one in the afternoon. All talks will be one hour and there will be considerable time for discussions. Present list of confirmed participants include: Sanjoy Dasgupta (University of California, San Diego), Vladimir Koltchinskii (Georgia Institute of Technology), Yoon Lee (Ohio State University), Guy Lebanon (Purdue University), Liza Levina (University of Michigan), Mauro Maggioni (Duke University), Yuriy Mileyko (Duke University), Partha Niyogi (University of Chicago), Tao Shi (Ohio State University), Jonathan Taylor (Stanford University) Workshop Committee: Misha Belkin (The Ohio State University, Chair), Feng Liang (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Sayan Mukherjee (Local Scientific Coordinator), James Damon (SAMSI, Directorate Liaison).
ApplicationInterested individuals should apply, using the ON-LINE APPLICATION FORM. This form also includes the application for financial support. You will be notified as soon as possible after your application if your participation will be possible; regrettably, limited seating will preclude acceptance of all applications. New researchers (graduate students, postdocs, and faculty in the early stages of their careers) and members of underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply. Space is limited to 35 participants; decisions will be made after the registration deadline. The application/registration deadline is January 1, 2007
In order to ensure your application is correct, we ask that you:
Please make reservations at the Radisson RTP as soon as possible. The SAMSI room block for the Radisson is effective until January 4, 2007. After this date, there is no guarantee a room will be available. If you have a change in plans, individual room reservations must be cancelled 72 hours prior to arrival. Check-in is at 3:00 PM; check-out is 12:00 noon. The room rate is $99.
