Machine Learning and Mathematical Inference

Abstract

Machine Learning (ML) algorithms have provided successful methods to obtain prediction models and algorithms from large databases. Methods such as neural networks, Bayes Naive and support vector machines have produced a big deal of empirical success in different disciplines. Understanding ML algorithms preliminary depend on understanding the mathematical methods and statistical inference used to build such algorithms. The intention of this workshop is to bring together Computer Scientists, Statisticians, and Mathematicians working at the field of Machine Learning and formalized statistical theory. We hope this workshop can provide a forum for researchers to help them in applying new mathematical learning techniques to solve problems in their disciplines.
