Statistics, Optimization and Machine Learning Seminar

Spring 2024 Update: the seminar is back, but not weekly

Seminar talks are organized ad hoc this semester, and there is no official CU seminar course for graduate students to take.  We will update this page and announce on the mailing list soon with the first few talks.

Quick info

When there is a talk, we will meet Tuesdays 3:30-4:30pm MT in ECES 116 (Engineering Center); note that we are not in the Newton Lab this semester.

To sign up for the mailing list and receive announcements about talks (you do not need to be enrolled in the seminar), visit our google groups website and add yourself to the group

The seminar is organized by Professors Rafael Frongillo (CS Dept) and Stephen Becker (Applied Math Dept)

The seminar is always open to the public! 

You do not have to be enrolled in the class ... but if you are enrolled in the class, for a passing grade, you must:

• 1. attend all the talks (missing an occasional talk is permissible if you have a valid reason, so email the instructors), and

  2. give a ~20 min presentation at some point in the semester, either on your own research, or presenting a paper

Support

For about the past 8 years, the seminar has been grateful for various support from the CU engineering college, the CU computer science and CU applied math departments, and from donations from Jake Knigge and CoBank.
