Abstract:

Leo's contributions to applied statistics and machine learning will be amply discussed by other speakers. Despite my lack of expertise, I'll talk briefly about his contribution to probability theory and my view of him as a highly important, if sometimes deliberately extreme, critic of the current theory and practice of statistics.
