The International Laboratory of Stochastic Algorithms and High-Dimensional Inference was created in April 2018 and is part of the Faculty of Computer Science at HSE.
Russian and international researchers work at the laboratory at the intersection of numerous mathematical disciplines, including modern statistics, optimisation, probability theory and theory of computation. Its main aim is to develop new probability and statistical approaches to current problems in the field of data analysis.
