Description
The aim of the workshop is to bring together theory and practice in modelling high-dimensional data; we hope to encourage genuine interaction between proponents of different approaches. We anticipate coming to a better understanding of the possibilities for finding robust rigorously-founded methods, well-tuned to the demands of data arising in various important application domains, whose theoretical properties can be precisely documented.
