Inference problems: algorithms and lower bounds
Virtual Workshop
Topic: Inference problems play a pivotal role in modern computer science, mathematics and statistics.The guiding question in these problems is to determine the minimum number of queries that enable the inference a latent ground truth, either information-theoretically or algorithmically. Prominent recent success stories include the stochastic block model, compressed sensing, group testing and low-density parity check codes. The techniques employed to tackle these problems originate in information theory, statistical physics, probability theory as well as combinatorics.
Objective: The goal of this online workshop is to bring together leading researchers from the various disciplines
involved in order to discuss recent advances, new techniques and future challenges.
The one-week online workshop receives funding from the German Research Foundation
and will be hosted at the Goethe University Frankfurt
