Statistics Seminar

Tim Hesterberg

Senior Statistician, Google

Statistics and Big Data at Google

Abstract:

Google lives on data. Search, Ads, YouTube, Maps - they all live on data. The talk will recount 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. (This is a nontechnical talk, also suitable for undergraduates.)
