Events

With PhD students, postdocs, and associated researchers, we organize weekly seminars - online and onsite. In this weekly group meeting, we alternate presentations by invited researchers on the topics of missing data, causal inference but also ML/statistics in general, with presentations by students of the group and also paper reading sessions.

Here you can find a list of group meetings with abstracts. We regularly update the links and list of confirmed speakers. Please contact Rémi Khellaf if you are interested to get the slides or if you want to visit us or to receive the announcement for the talks.

See below the calendar for more details.
