CWI features vibrant and diverse research on aspects of learning and estimation.  To highlight these themes and bring together the researchers working on (or interested in) them, on Tuesday June 8th there will be a Learning & Estimation afternoon at CWI, featuring talks by 6 different CWI scientists.

Program:
13:00 - 13:30 Joke Blom: Model identification in practice. Case study: Drosophila melanogaster.
13:30 - 14:00 Marie-Colette van Lieshout: Image Segmentation by Polygonal Markov Fields

14:20 - 14:50 Dirk de Vos: Identification of a Gene Regulatory Network involved in erythropoiesis 
14:50 - 15:20 Peter Grunwald: Catching up faster by Switching Sooner: why Bayesian model averaging is sometimes suboptimal in practice.

15:40 - 16:10 Daan Crommelin: Estimation of stochastic processes for multiscale systems
16:10 - 16:40 Sander Bohte: Multiple-timescale prediction with spiking neurons

Location: the "aquarium" room near the library, across the corridor from room L116

Anyone interested is welcome to attend, to listen and join the talks, join the discussion and get an impression of the diversity of research activities at CWI involving learning and estimation.
