Our Talks
Reliable Diagnostics by Conformal Predictors
- Prof. Alex Gammerman
- October 2015
- Berlin, Germany
The talk reviews a modern machine learning technique called Conformal Predictors.
The talk outlines the basic ideas of Conformal Predictors and then illustrates the technique with applications to several medical problems.
Large-scale Probabilistic Prediction With and Without Validity Guarantees
- Prof. Vladimir Vovk
- October 2015
- Berlin, Germany
The topic of this talk is a method of turning machine-learning algorithms into probabilistic predictors that automatically enjoys a property of validity, is computationally efficient, and preserves predictive efficiency.
Intelligent Learning: Similarity Control and Knowledge Transfer
- Prof. Vladimir Vapnik
- October 2015
- Berlin, Germany
The common observation was that human students require much less examples for training than a learning machine. It is because the human students have an intelligent teacher and that teacher-student interactions are based not only on the brute force methods of function estimation from observations.
Conformal Prediction and its Applications
- Prof. Alex Gammerman
- September 2013
- Moscow, Russia
In this talk, Prof. Gammerman will introduce the concept of Conformal Prediction and its applications. In particular, a comparison of Conformal Prediction and Bayesian approach will be discussed.
Treatment of Uncertainty in the Foundations of Probability
- Prof. Vladimir Vovk
- December 2016
- New Jersey, USA
Game-theoretic probability formalizes the picture in which both risk and uncertainty interfere at every moment. This picture will be demonstrated by open theories in science and the emergence of stochasticity and probability in finance.
Brute Force and Intelligent Methods of Learning
- Prof. Vladimir Vapnik
- May 2016
- California, USA
The goal of this talk is to introduce a new conceptual model of learning, the so-called Intelligent Learning, which goes beyond the classical model.
Entropy Properties of a Decision Rule Class in Connection with ML abilities
- Prof. Alexey Chervonenkis
- September 2007
- Slovenia
This talk was delivered by Prof. Alexey Chervonenkis in Slovenia, 2007.
Rethinking Statistical Learning Theory: Learning Using Statistical Invariants
- Prof. Vladimir Vapnik
- June 2018
- The Netherlands
In the talk I will consider Teacher-Student interaction in learning processes. I will introduce a new learning paradigm, called Learning Using Statistical Invariants (LUSI).
