EU Sixth Framework Grant Success for Mathematics and Statistics

Dr Martin Anthony (Mathematics Department and Centre for Discrete and Applicable Mathematics) and Professor Henry Wynn (Statistics Department and CDAM) are the LSE partners on a newly-announced Network of Excellence funded by the EU Sixth Framework Programme. The project, entitled PASCAL (Pattern Analysis, Statistical Modelling and Computational Learning) creates a Europe-wide distributed research institute which will pioneer theories and methods of pattern analysis, statistical modelling and computational learning. A particular aim is to investigate how such methods can be used to better enable multi-modal interfacing between computers and humans.

The project, funded for four years at 5.44M ECU, will foster interaction between a wide range of researchers based across Europe. Participating researchers have expertise in learning theory and statistics, algorithmics, machine vision, speech, haptics, brain-computer interfaces, natural language processing, information-retrieval, textual information processing and user modelling for computer-human interaction.
