WED., MARCH 5
\nROSE HILLS THEATRE
\nPOMONA COLLEGE<\/p>\n

Google lives on data. Search, Ads, YouTube, Maps, … – they all live on data. I’ll tell some stories about how Google uses data and statistics, how Google is always experimenting to make improvements (yes, this includes your searches), and how Google adapts statistical ideas to do things that have never been done before.<\/p>\n

No statistical background is required for this talk. Everyone is invited.<\/p>\n

Biography:
\nDr. Tim Hesterberg is a Senior Statistician at Google.
\nHe is a tree hugger, teaches kids to shoot rockets and dodge them when they come back down, and has herded cats – I mean chaperoned high school students – to set up computer labs in Guatemala, Ecuador, and Costa Rica.
