Best Student Paper Award at COPA2024

Jef Jonkers has been awarded the Best Student Paper Award at the 13th Symposium on Conformal and Probabilistic Prediction with Applications (COPA2024) held in Milan, Italy.

Jef’s and by extension the predict teams paper, titled “Conformal Predictive Systems Under Covariate Shift,” impressed the conference committee with its innovative approach and significant contributions to the field. You can read the preprint of this groundbreaking work on arXiv.

In true Italian style, the award presented to Jef was a “La Cupola” coffee maker by Alessi. This elegant piece was designed by Aldo Rossi, a distinguished alumnus of Politecnico di Milano, adding a touch of local flavor to the recognition.

This year’s award holds special significance as it is dedicated to the memory of Professor Aleksej Červonenkis, honoring his invaluable contributions to the field of machine learning and statistical learning theory.
