Selected updates on semileptonic $B$ decays and $|V_{xb}|$ determination

Abstract

We summarize selected up-to-date results related to semileptonic $B$ meson decays, namely results on the exclusive determination of the parameter $|V_{cb}|$ of the CKM matrix, on the inclusive determination of $|V_{ub}|$, and on $R(D^{(\ast )})$.
