标题： Remembrance of Leo Breiman

摘要： 1994年，我来到伯克利，并有幸在那里呆了三年，先是作为博士后研究员，然后作为内曼访问助理教授。 对我来说，这段时间是一个独特的机会，可以了解统计学的其他方面并学到更多东西：伯克利的统计系比我所在的苏黎世联邦理工学院大得多，因此也更广泛，我很享受这里的科学研究可能稍微更具推测性。 一到系里安顿下来，我就试图与当地教职员工取得联系。 Leo Breiman 开始了一个关于机器学习主题的读书小组，我毫不犹豫地和其他博士生一起参加了。 Leo 洋溢着巨大的热情，告诉我们如何利用计算能力来获得广阔的机会。 听他的观点和意见，以及他的想法和思路，非常令人兴奋、刺激且有趣。 这是我第一次认识 Leo。 而且至少有一点是相互的：现在，Leo 知道了我的名字和我是谁。 每当我们在Evans Hall四楼相遇时，我都会从Leo那里得到一个非常温柔的微笑和“你好”。 事实上，这种情况经常发生：我常常一边思考问题一边走动，我觉得Leo也有类似的习惯。 显示英文摘要

摘要： In 1994, I came to Berkeley and was fortunate to stay there three years, first as a postdoctoral researcher and then as Neyman Visiting Assistant Professor. For me, this period was a unique opportunity to see other aspects and learn many more things about statistics: the Department of Statistics at Berkeley was much bigger and hence broader than my home at ETH Z\"urich and I enjoyed very much that the science was perhaps a bit more speculative. As soon as I settled in the department, I tried to get in touch with the local faculty. Leo Breiman started a reading group on topics in machine learning and I didn't hesitate to participate together with other Ph.D. students. Leo spread a tremendous amount of enthusiasm, telling us about the vast opportunity we now had by taking advantage of computational power. Hearing his views and opinions and listening to his thoughts and ideas has been very exciting, stimulating and entertaining as well. This was my first occasion to get to know Leo. And there was, at least a bit, a vice-versa implication: now, Leo knew my name and who I am. Whenever we saw each other on the 4th floor in Evans Hall, I got a very gentle smile and "hello" from Leo. And in fact, this happened quite often: I often walked around while thinking about a problem, and it seemed to me, that Leo had a similar habit.
