Description

I review major issues, progress and difficulties in the determination of parton distributions in view of physics at the LHC. I then argue that despite recent impressive theoretical and phenomenological progress, a novel approach to the determination of parton distributions is needed for reliable LHC phenomenology, and I present preliminary results obtained within one such approach, based on neural networks.
