Location
The workshop was held at the North Carolina Biotechnology Center (NCBC), a couple of minutes walk from SAMSI.
Description
The goals of the workshop were:
- To reunite the participants from all active working groups in the SAMSI LDHD Program.
- To report and to review the progress of the working groups.
- To foster continuation of the research of the working groups beyond the SAMSI LDHD Program.
The active research working groups of the LDHD program are:
- High-dimensional graphical models
- Statistical dimension for graphical model selection
- Probabilistic modeling on moduli spaces
- Statistical methods for Topological Data Analysis
- Genetics and genomics
- Image analysis, signal analysis, computer vision
- Statistical inference for large matrices under complexity constraints
- Semi-parametric models
- Inference: dimension reduction
- Nonlinear low-dimensional structures in high-dimensions for biological data
- Data analysis on Hilbert manifolds and their applications
- Online streaming and sketching
