Graduate Student Seminar: Very noisy Sanov's Theorem and applications to alignment problems

I'll be talking about a paper in preparation, which is a support paper for the recent paper by E. Abbe and A. Singer [1]. I'll focus on explaining Sanov's Theorem, how it can be useful in hypothesis testing and estimation, and present its noisy version and application to alignment problems.
