This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will focus on the
goal of leveraging newly established connections and techniques to
study new challenges involving inference of combinatorial structures
both in the context of network models and beyond. 

The workshop is organized by
Emmanuel Abbe, Laurent Massoulie, and Elchanan Mossel.

AIM Research Conference Center:
--------------------------------

The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) hosts focused
workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. AIM
focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on
a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a
significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an
important new result, or investigating the convergence between
two distinct areas of mathematics.
