Seminar Overview

The seminar this semester will be joined between the Labs of Prof. Nathan Intrator and Prof. Hezy Yeshurun. It will concentrate on computational methods which are used in the different projects in the labs. Specifically, we shall concentrate on machine learning, robust statistics and robust modeling in each of the presentations.. There may be a few guest presentations as well.

General instructions for seminar presenters

The presentation should have an introductory component that can enable all students understand the background of the seminar. They should then have a methodological component which explains at least a single method that can be used in a variety of applications. Finally, there should be some application results which demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed methods.

In contrast, a review presentation should describe several computational methods which are aimed at addressing a specific problem, together with a clear background of that problem. Preferably some comparison between the methods should be provided.

Abstract of the presentation should be sent to me up to three days before the presentation and a slides up to a day before the presentation.
