APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN

Hosted by the Queensland University of Technology, AMSI Winter School is a two-week residential program for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and early career researchers in the mathematical sciences and cognate disciplines.

This year the event will focus on computational foundations of data science, with the aim to develop the next generation of quantitative scientists who can thrive in tomorrow’s information age. Our impressive line-up of international and national speakers will build your knowledge in large-scale computational methods of data science, and introduce you to a range of topical applications.

This year, AMSI Winter School 2017 will feature courses on the following themes:

  • Bayesian Inference & Data Assimilation
  • High-Dimensional Statistics
  • Inverse Problems
  • Machine Learning
  • Nonlinear Optimisation
  • Numerical Linear Algebra

Apply now to develop skills and knowledge in the computational foundations of data science and tackle the fundamental challenge of “turning data into knowledge”.

ABOUT GRANTS

Professor Stephen Wright

Featured Course: Optimisation Techniques For Data Analysis

Professor Stephen Wright, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Optimisation techniques have become a mainstay of data analysis and machine learning. Many problems in these domains can be formulated and solved naturally as optimisation problems.

The course will review basic optimisation techniques, their application to data analysis problems, and their fundamental theoretical properties.
