Lectures by Professor Theodor Trafalis (university of Oklahoma, USA) were held on "Kernel Methods with Imbalanced Data and Applications to Weather Prediction" (May 23, 2016) and "Bayesian Kernel Methods for Classification and Online Learning Problems" (May 24, 2016)

This paper will use the OECD PISA and Survey of Adult Skills data to examine the variation across countries in the distribution of the literacy and numeracy skills of young people and adults, how these change over the life course, and how the characteristics of education and training systems affect this.
