The theory of maximum entropy plays an important role in the analysis of ill-posed problems that occur in diverse areas of science. It is on the foundations of Info-Metrics, a research area at the intersection of statistics, computer science and decision theory, among others fields. This workshop aims to promote methodologies and new applications.
