Seminar in Psychometrics

Seminar of the COMputational PSychometrics group features local and visiting scholars presenting current research on computational aspects of psychometrics. The talks are approximately 60 minutes long, followed by a discussion. In spring semester, the seminar is jointly held as a course NMST571 at Charles University. The seminar is co-hosted by Patrícia Martinková and Jiří Lukavský. If you want to participate and/or be added on a mailing list, please send an e-mail to martinkovaATcs.cas.cz.
