Network science and its applications

Workshop theme

The collection of data on a large scale in a number of domains, such as biology, sociology, epidemiology, finance, and telecommunication, has opened the field for the development of advanced statistical models for network inference that can cope with the high dimensionality of the data. These models are often motivated and developed within an applied domain and the interpretation and validation of the inferred network within that specific context is often challenging, particularly for high dimensional problems. The aim of this workshop is to highlight recent developments in the field, to discuss gaps in the literature and to draw possible bridges between the different methods used in the different application areas. The workshop is organised in association with the special issue “Network Science and its Applications” of the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series C. Speakers associated to this issue have been invited at the institute for the whole week: there will be informal events, such as seminars, on the first three days, and a public workshop on the last two. The timetable of the public workshop is provided on the webpage, information on the seminars will be circulated by email.

The application is closed
