The 1st PhyStat School of Statistics titled "Statistics in the era of Machine Learning" will take place on November 17-21 in The Netherlands.
The goal of the school is to give participants a thorough understanding of the statistical concepts needed for data analysis in High Energy and Gravitational Wave physics, with a particular focus on the use of Machine Learning. Topics include:
Basics of Statistics in High Energy Physics
Basics of Machine Learning
Simulation-Based Inference
Anomaly Detection
Treatment of Uncertainties
The program is split between lectures and comprehensive hands-on sessions, to allow participants to work with the topics addressed during the lectures in the context of concrete problems. Real-world applications of each topic will be presented by invited lectures. The invited Lecturers are: Bob Cousins, Tilman Plehn, Jay Sandesara, Gaia Grosso and Mikael Kuusela
This school is organized by PhyStat in collaboration with Nikhef and will take place at the Hof van Saksen in the village of Nooitgedacht in The Netherlands.
