never mind the big data here’s the big models [workshop]

A perfect opportunity to recycle the pastiche of the iconic LP of the Sex Pistols!, that Mark Girolami posted for the ATI Scoping workshop  last month in Warwick. There is an open workshop on the theme of big data/big models next week in Warwick, organised by the Warwick Data Science Institute. It will take place on December 15, from noon till 5:30pm in the Zeeman Building. Invited speakers are

• Robert Scheichl (University of Bath, Dept of Mathematical Sciences)

• Shiwei Lan (University of Warwick, Dept of Statistics)

• Konstantinos Zygalakis (University of Southampton, Dept of Mathematical Sciences)

• Dan Simpson (University of Bath, Dept of Mathematical Sciences), with the enticing title of “To avoid fainting, keep repeating ‘It’s only a model’…”
