Fabian received the opportunity to present his work, “Solving FDR-Controlled Sparse Regression Problems With Five Million Variables on a Laptop” within the session for “Computational Advances in Signal Processing Algorithms”. His contribution focused on improvements of the T-Rex Selector’s computational tractability by means of memory-mapping, dummy permutations, and online-processing, and made it possible to use the T-Rex Selector for problems with millions of variables and False-Discovery Rate Control not just on a cluster computer, but also on private machines.
Furthermore, the conference granted him the opportunity to meet and discuss with domain experts and set up contacts among world leading scientists. The conference visit was part of his ongoing PhD project in track of the BMBF cluster for Future Initiative: curATime, in collaboration with the University Medical Center of Mainz.
Next to academic discussions and networking, this trip also made him a cultural expert for Costa Rica and its magnificent nature. Many thanks to emergenCity – without you it would not have been possible!
