LessWrong Israel presents Edo Arad with a Forecasting workshop on Tuesday May 5, 2020
Forecasting is the art of assigning probabilities to future events. It turns out that there are many types of future predictions which we can make some sort of educated predictions on, and there are techniques for improving our methodology for doing so.
We will talk about the basics of forecasting and have some hands-on experience. So come prepared with a computer and be ready for a challenging and fast paced experience!
