# Statistical Learning Seminars

Online seminar series on statistical learning and related topics

# One World

The effects of CoViD-19 pervades through research communities across the globe, causing cancelled conferences, post-poned research visits, and suspended projects. Like many others, we have sought other opportunities for collaboration in spite of the current state of affairs and have therefore organized this online seminar series in statistical learning.

# Format

We are going to use zoom. The seminar will be 1 hour long, with 45 minutes allocated to the presentation itself and 15 minutes to discussions afterwards.

Here are some ground rules for these seminars:

• If you wish to ask a question, use the raise hand button in the participants window.

## Waiting room

You will be placed in a waiting room when entering the zoom seminar. Please wait for the host to let you in to the meeting.

## Upcoming talks

The seminar series will take a break after July 10. We hope to see you again in the fall!
