Breaking News: As announced April 11th, 2024, Peter has been awarded an ERC Advanced Grant by the European Union!Peter Grünwald heads the machine learning group at CWI in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. He is also full professor of Statistical Learning at the Mathematical Institute of Leiden University. From 2018-2022 he served as the President of the Association for Computational Learning, the organization running COLT, the world’s prime annual conference on machine learning theory. Earlier he was co-program chair of COLT and UAI – another top ML conference. Apart from publishing at top ML venues like NeurIPS, COLT and UAI, he regularly contributes to top statistics journals as well. He is the author of the book (and standard reference) The Minimum Description Length Principle, (MIT Press, 2007). He is co-recipient of the Van Dantzig prize, the highest Dutch award in statistics and operations research, handed out every five years. He received NWO VIDI, VICI and TOP-1 grants.Peter’s research currently focuses on Safe, Anytime-Valid Inference based on the emerging theory of e-values and e-processes. E-values are an alternative to p-values that effortlessly deal with optional continuation: with e-value based tests and the corresponding always valid confidence intervals, one can always gather additional data, while keeping statistically valid conclusions. While the term "e-values" was only coined in 2019, there are by now 100s of papers on the subject. Peter is one of the central contributors to this new area, with papers in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, the American Statistical Association and the Phil. Trans. of the Royal Society of London. See my own website www.grunwald.nl for more information about my work and myself - I'm not an active linkedin user!
