Friday Oct 4 3 pm in ESB 2012
Dr Hesterberg will speak on "Statistics and Big Data at Google". He summarizes his talk:
Google lives on data. Search, Ads, YouTube, Maps, ... - they all live on data. I'll tell some stories about how Google uses data and statistics, how Google is always experimenting to make improvements (yes, this includes your searches), and how Google adapts statistical ideas to do things that have never been done before.
No statistical background is required for this talk.
After the talk, you will have the opportunity to speak with Dr Hesterberg. You will also have the opportunity to discuss with other students the possibility of forming a Data Science Club.
