New Problems and Perspectives on Learning, Testing, and Sampling in the Small Data Regime Thursday, May 16, 2019 - 4:00pm to 5:00pm I will discuss several new problems related to the general challenge of understanding what conclusions can be made, given a dataset that is relatively small in comparison to the complexity or dimensionality of the underlying distribution from which it is drawn. In the f |
