Second AAAI Fall Symposium on Survival Prediction

[Artur Dubrawski]

Team,

Our own Dr. Chirag Nagpal is coorganizing this AAAI Symposium. Looks to be
a prime event and a good venue to submit work related to survival analysis,
estimation of remaining useful life, and similar topics.

Cheers,
Artur
