Pál Révész

	Pál Révész Pál Révész (6 June 1934 – 14 November 2022), anglicized as Pal Revesz, was a Hungarian mathematician known for his research in probability and mathematical statistics, including the mathematical foundations of the law of large numbers, theory of density estimation, and random walks. Education and career Révész was born in Budapest. He studied in the applied mathematics program at the Faculty of Science, Eötvös Loránd University and graduated there in 1957. Afterwards, he got a job at the Eötvös Loránd University's probability department, where he worked as an assistant professor. In 1964, he transferred to the Mathematical Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, where he started working as a scientific associate. In 1963, he defended his candidate's thesis in mathematics, and in 1969 he defended his academic doctoral thesis. He became a member of the Mathematical Committee of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He did a significant part of his scienti ...

picture info	Anglicisation Anglicisation or anglicization is a form of cultural assimilation whereby something non-English becomes assimilated into or influenced by the culture of England. It can be sociocultural, in which a non-English place adopts the English language or culture; institutional, in which institutions are influenced by those of England or the United Kingdom; or Anglicisation (linguistics), linguistic, in which a non-English term or name is altered due to the cultural influence of the English language.Bridge, Carl, and Fedorowich, Kent. ''The British World: Diaspora, Culture, and Identity'', 2003, p. 89. "Beyond gaps in our information about who or what was affected by anglicisation is the matter of understanding the process more fully in terms of agency, periodisation, and extent and limitations." It can also refer to the influence of English soft power, which includes media, cuisine, popular culture, technology, business practices, laws and political systems. Anglicisation first occurre ...

	Stochastic Approximation Stochastic approximation methods are a family of iterative methods typically used for root-finding problems or for optimization problems. The recursive update rules of stochastic approximation methods can be used, among other things, for solving linear systems when the collected data is corrupted by noise, or for approximating extreme values of functions which cannot be computed directly, but only estimated via noisy observations. In a nutshell, stochastic approximation algorithms deal with a function of the form f(\theta) = \operatorname E_ (\theta,\xi) which is the expected value of a function depending on a random variable \xi . The goal is to recover properties of such a function f without evaluating it directly. Instead, stochastic approximation algorithms use random samples of F(\theta,\xi) to efficiently approximate properties of f such as zeros or extrema. Recently, stochastic approximations have found extensive applications in the fields of statistics and machine lea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Academic Staff Of Eötvös Loránd University An academy (Attic Greek: Ἀκαδήμεια; Koine Greek Ἀκαδημία) is an institution of tertiary education. The name traces back to Plato's school of philosophy, founded approximately 386 BC at Akademia, a sanctuary of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and skill, north of Athens, Greece. The Royal Spanish Academy defines academy as scientific, literary or artistic society established with public authority and as a teaching establishment, public or private, of a professional, artistic, technical or simply practical nature. Etymology The word comes from the ''Academy'' in ancient Greece, which derives from the Athenian hero, ''Akademos''. Outside the city walls of Athens, the gymnasium was made famous by Plato as a center of learning. The sacred space, dedicated to the goddess of wisdom, Athena, had formerly been an olive grove, hence the expression "the groves of Academe". In these gardens, the philosopher Plato conversed with followers. Plato developed his sessions ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
