This page presents two overlapping workshops held jointly by the [|Centre of Computational Statistics and Machine Learning] and the [|Astrophysics Group] of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at University College London. The workshops aim to bring together computer scientists and cosmologists to explore the application of computational statistics and machine learning techniques to data analysis problems in cosmology.  **Cosmology Meets Machine Learning Workshop** Tue 3 May - Wed 4 May Goals:
 * Cosmologists learn about the latest techniques from computer scientists.
 * Computer scientists learn about new data analysis problems in cosmology.
 * Introduce more computer scientists to GREAT10 (Wed 4pm - 5pm).

 Wed 4 May 4pm onwards: Introduction and update on the [|GREAT10] [|PASCAL Challenge] Thu 5 May: GREAT10 unconference (no formal talks, programme is set according to interest) Fri 6 May: Room, power supplies, internet and coffee/biscuits available. Goal:
 * GREAT10 Workshop **
 * Compare notes on existing results from GREAT10 star and galaxy challenges, especially the training data.

Available for the Wednesday afternoon (2-5pm BST) including the GREAT10 session aimed at newcomers (4pm-5pm BST).
 * Remote participation **
