Conference: The 9th Workshop on Biostatistics and Bioinformatics

第九届生物统计学和生物信息学研讨会将于2024年5月3日至5日在佐治亚州立大学举行。它将为资深研究人员、初级研究人员和研究生提供一个平台，讨论该领域的最新进展和挑战。研讨会的主要目标是解决人工智能、因果推理和统计基因组数据分析应用中新出现的挑战。研讨会将有一位主旨演讲者、顶尖专家和年轻研究人员参加，它为研究生和年轻研究人员提供了一个宝贵的机会，让他们获得发表海报演示的经验。展示海报将有助于他们获得该领域专家的反馈，并参与与其他与会者的讨论。研讨会将为合作、讨论和传播思想提供一个独特的机会。此外，讲习班特别强调通过财政支助支持年轻人、任职人数不足的个人和妇女，旨在培育一个包容的环境。通过整合互动会议、网络机会和对多样性的承诺，研讨会可以提高其整体影响力。研讨会的目的是通过各大学之间的合作努力，推动生物统计学和生物信息学的界限。研讨会保持了一个非常强大的计划，其中包括一位著名统计学家的一次主旨演讲，知名和新兴专家的特邀演讲，初级研究人员和研究生的海报演示。工作坊还将开设一堂名为《深度学习与生成式AI教程》的短课，并将在颁奖典礼上公布五项最佳学生海报奖。特别努力致力于通过邀请代表性不足的个人参加研讨会，与亚特兰大大都会地区历史上的黑人大学建立联系。我们预计，讲习班将吸引大量来自任职人数不足群体的与会者。通过促进研讨会的包容性和多样性，初级研究人员、研究生和代表性不足的人可以获得旅行支持。有关研讨会的更多信息可在网站上找到：https://math.gsu.edu/yichuan/2024Workshop/index.html.This奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The 9th Workshop on Biostatistics and Bioinformatics will be held at Georgia State University, May 03-05, 2024. It will provide a platform for senior researchers, junior researchers, and graduate students to discuss the latest advances and challenges in the field. The main objective of the workshop is to address emerging challenges in applications of AI, causal inference, and statistical genomics data analysis. The workshop will feature a keynote speaker, leading experts and young researchers, and it provides an invaluable opportunity for graduate students and young researchers to gain experience giving poster presentations. To present posters will help them to receive feedback from experts in the field, and engage in discussions with fellow attendees. The workshop will provide a distinctive opportunity for collaboration, discussion, and dissemination of ideas. In addition, the workshop places special emphasis on supporting young people, underrepresented individuals, and women through financial supports, aiming to cultivate an inclusive environment. Through the integration of interactive sessions, networking opportunities, and a commitment to the diversity, the workshop can enhance its overall impact.The workshop aims to push the boundaries of biostatistics and bioinformatics through collaborative efforts among various universities. The workshop maintains a very strong program, which includes one keynote speech by a renowned statistician, invited talks by established and emerging experts, poster presentations from junior researchers and graduate students. The workshop will also offer a short course "Tutorial on Deep Learning and Generative AI" and five Best Student Poster Awards will be announced during the award ceremony. Special effort is dedicated to forging connections with historically black universities in the Metro Atlanta area, by inviting underrepresented individuals to participate in the workshop. We expect that the workshop will attract a significant number of participants from underrepresented groups. Travel support is available for junior researchers, graduate students, and underrepresented people by promoting the inclusivity and diversity within the workshop. More information about the workshop can be found at the website: https://math.gsu.edu/yichuan/2024Workshop/index.html.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
