Opening Conference and Boot Camp on Big Data
Overview
The goals are to to prepare students, postdoctoral fellows, visitors and interested researchers to benefit from the activities to follow, and to build momentum and generate widespread interest in the thematic program. We are very pleased that Emmanuel Candes will open the conference and the thematic program with a keynote lecture. After two overview days, each day is devoted to one of the themes addressed in more depth during the thematic semester.
