00:59:59 Q&A

The second set of Turing Lectures focuses on Statistical Science and we have two of the world’s leading statistical innovators giving two lectures on the new challenges in computational statistics and its application in life sciences. We will delve into the mysteries of the operation and control of the living cell, seeking to make sense of data obtained from ingenious experiments. Contemporary statistical models required for such complex data is presenting phenomenal challenges to existing algorithms and these talks will present advances being made in this area of Statistical Science.

The Alan Turing Institute is the UK's National Institute for Data Science.

The Institute’s mission is to: undertake data science research at the intersection of computer science, mathematics, statistics and systems engineering; provide technically informed advice to policy makers on the wider implications of algorithms; enable researchers from industry and academia to work together to undertake research with practical applications; and act as a magnet for leaders in academia and industry from around the world to engage with the UK in data science and its applications.

The Institute is headquartered at The British Library, at the heart of London’s knowledge quarter, and brings together leaders in advanced mathematics and computing science from the five founding universities and other partners. Its work is expected to encompass a wide range of scientific disciplines and be relevant to a large number of business sectors.
