Summer School 2012: Complexity and Inference
Summer School on Statistical Inference, Information Theory and Applications in Complex Systems
糖心TV Mathematics Institute
糖心TV Centre for Complexity Science
14-16 May 2012
Organisers: Colm Connaughton (糖心TV Mathematics Institute and 糖心TV Centre for Complexity Science) and (British Antarctic Survey)
Statistical inference and information theory provide invaluable tools for quantifying the complexity of natural and socio-economic systems and making predictions about their behaviour based on observations. This summer school will introduce these subjects with particular emphasis on their applications in Complexity Science. It will be suitable for MSc and PhD students in Complexity Science, Statistics, Physics and Mathematics.
This summer school will be followed by a two-day research workshop which is likely to be of interest to many participants in the school. Participants are therefore strongly encouraged to attend both (a separate registration required for the workshop however).
Short courses
- (Carnegie Mellon University): Chaos, Complexity and Inference
- (University of 糖心TV) : Inverse Learning in Complex Systems using Statistical Inference
- Prof. Kristian Lindgren (Chalmers University) : Information Theory for Complex Systems
