We are all aware that we live in the era of ("big") data. In contrast to classical scientists
that devoted much of their resources to collecting data, nowadays researchers are flooded with
data and the focus has switched to trying to make sense of and utilize the big and complex available data.
Machine learning is aimed to use computer power to do just that.

It is therefore no wonder that machine learning is currently a hot topic. Evidence is all over the map, from
NYTimes articles to being a top priority for research investments by Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook.
Throughout its (short) history, machine learning has enjoyed fruitful interactions between theory and practice.
The growing awareness to its power keeps stimulating research towards new applications to the field, which in turn
spur the development of algorithms and inspire new frontiers for our theoretical pursuit.
