ABOUT Khronos-Persyval Days
---
Khronos-Persyval Days on High-Dimensional Learning and Optimization is an international workshop organized as part of the Khronos project of the Labex Persyval and the Gargantua project of the CNRS-Mastodons program. The goal of this workshop is to provide an overview of some of the latest advances in mathematical optimization and statistical learning. We bring together three leading researchers in the field and international participants at the graduate level and above. Each lecture is a tutorial, starting from the basic concepts and tools, and progressively moving further to the latest advances.
