The conference on "Probability Theory and Statistics in High and Infinite Dimensions: Empirical Processes Theory and Beyond" will focus on empirical processes and other methods of high-dimensional probability and their role in a variety of problems related to statistical inference for high-dimensional data as well as to nonparametric inference. The conference will be held on June 23-25, 2014 at the Center for Mathematical Sciences, University of Cambridge, UK. The list of topics includes concentration inequalities, exponential and moment bounds for Gaussian, empirical and other related processes, nonasymptotic bounds for random matrices, complexity penalization methods and oracle inequalities in high-dimensional inference, sparse recovery and low rank matrix recovery, high-dimensional problems in machine learning, nonparametric estimation and hypotheses testing, Bayesian nonparametrics.High-dimensional probability and statistics have had impact far beyond mathematical sciences. The methods of high-dimensional probability have been crucial in understanding the performance of new machine learning algorithms and in the design of contemporary methods of analysis of big data. Bringing together researchers who have made and are currenly making important contributions to this area would facilitate the exchange of ideas leading to much better understanding of the role of high-dimensional phenomena in statistical inference and machine learning. The conference would be especially beneficial for junior participants entering these research areas. This award will support the participation of approximately twenty US-based participants in the conference.Conference web site: www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~nickl/Site/2014.html

“高维和无限维中的概率论与统计：经验过程理论及其他”会议将重点讨论高维概率的经验过程和其他方法及其在与高维数据统计推断相关的各种问题中的作用以及非参数推理。会议将于2014年6月23-25日在英国剑桥大学数学科学中心举行。主题列表包括浓度不等式、高斯的指数和矩界限、经验和其他相关过程、随机矩阵的非渐近界限、复杂性惩罚方法和高维推理中的预言不等式、稀疏恢复和低秩矩阵恢复、高维机器学习、非参数估计和假设检验、贝叶斯非参数中的问题。高维概率和统计的影响远远超出了数学科学的范围。高维概率方法对于理解新机器学习算法的性能以及当代大数据分析方法的设计至关重要。将已经和正在该领域做出重要贡献的研究人员聚集在一起将有助于思想交流，从而更好地理解高维现象在统计推断和机器学习中的作用。该会议对于进入这些研究领域的初级参与者尤其有益。 该奖项将支持大约二十名美国参与者参加会议。会议网站：www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~nickl/Site/2014.html
