Geometry and Statistics in Data Sciences

Thematic quarter program at Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris

September 5th - December 9th, 2022

Outline

The goal of this Thematic quarter is to highlight the rich interactions between Statistics, Probability theory, Geometry and Topology in the field of Mathematics of AI. It will allow young researchers, Masters students and PhD students to explore cross-disciplinary topics.
