IISA 2018: From Data to Knowledge, Working for a Better World

该奖项支持为期四天的2018年国际会议，名为“IISA 2018：从数据到知识，为更美好的世界而努力”，该会议将于2018年5月17日至5月20日在佛罗里达州盖恩斯维尔的佛罗里达大学举行。本次会议将汇集来自统计/生物统计、概率和数据科学等不同领域的统计学家，共同讨论和促进统计理论、方法和工具的最新发展，以便从复杂和嘈杂的数据源中做出准确的推断。这笔资金将用于支付一些博士生和年轻研究人员的部分费用，他们将在本次会议上展示他们的研究。会议的主题是讨论和促进统计理论、方法和工具的前沿发展，以便从复杂和嘈杂的数据源中做出准确的推断。本次会议的全体发言人包括蒙特塞拉特·富恩特斯（弗吉尼亚联邦大学）、希拉·库尔（密歇根州立大学）和赛勒斯·梅塔（Cytel公司）。此外，7位研究人员将作特别邀请演讲。一些初级研究人员将有机会在邀请会议上发言。博士生将有机会在竞争性的基础上进行口头报告。此外，亦会安排学生海报比赛。欲了解更多详情，请访问会议网站：http://iisa2018.biostat.ufl.edu/.This该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

This award supports a four day 2018 international conference titled "IISA 2018: From Data to Knowledge, Working for a Better World" which will take place at the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, from May 17 - May 20, 2018. This conference will bring together statisticians from diverse areas of statistics/biostatistics, probability and data science in a collaborative setting to discuss and foster the latest developments of statistical theory, methods and tools for making accurate inference from complex and noisy data sources. The grant funding will be used to cover partial costs of a number of doctoral students and young researchers who will present their research at this conference. The theme of the conference is to discuss and foster the cutting-edge developments of statistical theory, methods and tools for making accurate inference from complex and noisy data sources. Plenary speakers for this conference include Montserrat Fuentes (Virginia Commonwealth University), Hira Koul (Michigan State University), and Cyrus Mehta (Cytel Inc). In addition, seven researchers will be giving Special Invited Talks. A number of junior researchers will be given the opportunity to present in invited sessions. Doctoral students will have an opportunity to give oral presentations on a competitive basic. A student poster competition will also be arranged.
