  1. CERN Workshop on Statistics and Machine Learning 16-21 September 2018 indico.cern.ch/event/747653/ The inaugural training event of Coordinator: Glen Cowan RHUL Physics insights-itn.eu INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  2. Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative training Network INSIGHTS ~ International Training Network of Statistics for High Energy Physics and Society, H2020-MSCA-ITN-2017 n. 765710 11 host institutions for Early Stage Researchers 9 partners from academia, research and industry INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  3. INSIGHTS host institutions INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  4. INSIGHTS partners from research and industry Digitalcomoedia INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  5. Who we are INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  6. Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions The Innovative Training Networks Aim to train a new generation of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative early-stage researchers, able to face current and future challenges and to convert knowledge and ideas into products and services for economic and social benefit. INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  7. Our Mission The INSIGHTS Innovative Training Network will develop advanced statistical methods, implement them in software, and apply them to solve problems in Particle Physics and other fields. In doing so, we will create the next generation of experts not only able to investigate Nature's fundamental particles but also to solve problems of broad relevance to society. Key aspects: PhD from host institution Training Events Secondments at partner nodes Statistics for Particle Physics, Industry and Society INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  8. Work Packages WP1 Statistical Methods (coord.: A. Caldwell) WP2 Software Tools (coord.: W. Verkerke) WP3 Physics Applications (coord.: A. Read) WP4 Statistics for Society (coord.: P. Agnoli) WP5 Management (coord.: G. Cowan) WP6 Training (coord.: L. Lista) WP7 Outreach (coord.: T. Dorigo) INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  9. WP1 Statistical Methods Coordinator: Allen Caldwell, MPI Munich Statistical modeling Multivariate analysis Bayesian computation INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  10. WP2 Software Tools Coordinator: Wouter Verkerke, NIKHEF Modular and efficient software implementation of the statistical techniques developed in the Network will be used to integrate the methods into the general data analysis frameworks: ROOT TMVA RooFit/RooStats BAT GAMBIT INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  11. WP3 Physics Applications Coordinator – Alex Read, University of Oslo Goal is not to develop statistical tools “in a vacuum” but to ensure they an cope with the real-world complexities of actual analyses. Physics applications include: LHC Physics (ATLAS and CMS) Top and Higgs physics, search for new processes Neutrino physics (SHiP) Double Beta Decay (GERDA) INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  12. WP4 Statistics for Society Coordinator: Paolo Agnoli, Pangea Formazione (Rome) Statistics in HEP to/from our partners in research and industry: Volcanology (INGV) Climate Science (CICERO) Finance (KPMG, FISCAL) Image recognition, traffic flow (Pangea Formazione) Image Processing (Digital Comoedia) INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  13. WP5 Management Coordinator: Glen Cowan, RHUL INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  14. WP6 Training Coordinator: Luca Lista, INFN Naples Built on existing events as well as several new created by INSIGHTS, e.g., Pan-European School of Advanced Statistics at DESY INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  15. WP7 Outreach Coordinator: Tommaso Dorigo, INFN Padova Web: insights-itn.eu → social media, blog, etc. Outreach workshop (Wednesday!): INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  16. For the rest of this week We hope you get the most out of the coming week here at CERN (Thanks, Lorenzo, Sergei, Tommaso, et al.!) INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  17. Wednesday: Outreach Workshop INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  18. INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  19. INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018

  20. And next week in Padova... Followed on 26, 27 Sep by the INSIGHTS workshop where we will continue to get to know each other and sort out many questions for the coming 3 years: Work Packages, Management Structures,... INSIGHTS / 17 September 2018
