Overview
Inference and learning are becoming increasingly important in many
areas of science and engineering. Typically stated in the framework
of computer science, statistics, or information theory, these problems
are also linked to concepts and approaches native to statistical
physics. This interdisciplinary field has seen a recent explosion of
activity, resulting in new algorithms and new methods of analysis. The
aim of this workshop is to enforce research on interface between these
fields, with the focus on statistical physics, by presentations of the
most recent progress and discussions of future directions. The
workshop will include longer invited talks, shorter contributed talks
and plenty of time for discussions and skiing in the French Alps.
Specific topics will include:
