Tuning Parameters in Brain Imaging

Abstract:

Regularization is essential for analyzing the large and complex data that are generated in economics, neuroscience, astronomy, and many other fields. However, Lasso, Ridge Regression, Graphical Lasso, and other regularized methods depend on tuning parameters that are difficult to calibrate both in theory and in practice. In this talk, we discuss an approach to contend with this challenge. We present new theoretical results as well as applications to estimating brain connectivity patterns from fMRI data.

Course Title and Content

Survival analysis methods for micro-level claim reserving

 
Abstract:

Les évènements géopolitiques récents – la « crise des réfugiés », la montée des nationalismes en Europe et dans le monde – génèrent une multiplication de projets théâtraux, littéraires, artistiques. Au croisement de l’éthique, de la politique, de l’économie et de l’esthétique, les créateurs s’engagent et tentent de répondre à une actualité témoignant d’un phénomène plus large, à savoir que l’exil, à l’heure de la globalisation, est devenu une donnée anthropologique fondamentale. Cet engagement interroge les discours politiques, socioéconomiques, religieux et médiatiques actuels.
