ERC descriptors

Posted in Statistics, Travel, University life with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on November 9, 2020 by xi'an

Here are the descriptors (or keywords) validated by the (European Research Council) ERC for submitting grant proposal. The recent addition of PE1_15 in the Mathematics panel should help when submitting more methodological projects:

PE1_14 Mathematical statistics
PE1_15 Generic statistical methodology and modelling
PE1_19 Scientific computing and data processing

even though other panels could prove equally suited for some, as in Computer Science and Informatics,

PE6_7 Artificial intelligence, intelligent systems, natural language processing
PE6_10 Web and information systems, data management systems, information retrieval and digital libraries, data fusion
PE6_11 Machine learning, statistical data processing and applications using signal processing (e.g. speech, image, video)
PE6_12 Scientific computing, simulation and modelling tools
PE6_13 Bioinformatics, bio-inspired computing, and natural computing

in Systems and Communication Engineering,

PE7_7 Signal processing

in Integrative Biology,

LS2_11 Bioinformatics and computational biology
LS2_12 Biostatistics

in Prevention,Diagnosis and Treatment of Human Diseases,

LS7_1 Medical imaging for prevention, diagnosis and monitoring of diseases
LS7_2 Medical technologies and tools (including genetic tools and biomarkers) for prevention, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of diseases

and in Social Sciences and Humanities,

SH1_6 Econometrics; operations research
SH4_9 Theoretical linguistics; computational linguistics

Nozer Singpurwalla, Nick. Polson, and Refik Soyer have just arXived a remarkable survey on the history of signal processing, from Gauß, Yule, Kolmogorov and Wiener, to Ragazzini, Shanon, Kálmán [who, I was surprised to learn, died in Gainesville last year!], Gibbs sampling, and the particle filters of the 1990’s.

[In the train shuttle at Birmingham airport, two young guys, maybe back from SPA 2015, discussing signal processing:]

– In Bayesian statistics, they use a different approach to testing hypotheses… You see, they put priors on the different hypotheses…

– But in the end it all boils down to concentration inequalities…
