Abstract(s)
In response to the call from the 2021 IMS (Institute of Mathematical Statistics) Survey report to expand membership from emerging areas of data science, underrepresented groups, and from regions outside
of North America, the IMS has launched the annual IMS International Conference on Statistics and Data Science (ICSDS). Following the success of 2022 ICSDS in Florence Italy, December 13-16. 2022,
the second and this 2023 ICSDS is held on December 18-21, in Lisbon, Portugal. In addition to plenary sessions, invited, contributed and poster sessions, ICSDS offers a student paper competition for 12 Student Travel Awards. There are also Junior Researcher Support Funds for travel support for junior researchers. We gratefully acknowledge here the generous support for both awards from the funds of Industry Friends of IMS (IFoIMS). Students and young researchers are strongly encouraged to participate and utilize this support.
The ICSDS conference has been thoughtfully organized to provide platforms to facilitate discovery dissemination and foster collaborations among researchers from a wide range of research and practice
areas in statistics and data science, and from academia, industry and government. We are gratified to be able to welcome to the ICSDS more than 550 participants coming from more than 40 countries. The goal of the ICSDS is to afford such a diverse crowd a stimulating setting for exchanging ideas on the developments of modern statistics and data science, broadly defined, in all aspects of theory, methods and applications.
The Local Organizing Committee in Lisbon, the beautiful capital city of Portugal, has worked hard to find the modern Cultural Center of Belém (CCB) in Belém area for us to host the ICSDS this year.
CCB is located near where Tagus River meets the Atlantic Ocean, and it is surrounded by many magnificent landmarks, including Tower of Belém and Mosteiro dos Jerónimos. This location conveniently affords
the conference participants rich social programs, including conference
tours to Mosteiro dos Jerónimos and Tower of Belém, both are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and are historical and architectural treasures for the world. We are also able to organize a conference banquet
in the charming Casa do Alentejo to enjoy the local cuisine and the renowned Portuguese traditional Fado music performance. Participants are also highly encouraged to take advantage of the close proximity to “Pastéis de Belém” from CCB to enjoy the world famous Portuguese tarts. Many other wonderful things to do, eat and see in Lisbon can also be found in https://www.timeout.com/lisbon.
We wish that the 2023 ICSDS proves to be another productive conference that will successfully cultivate more fruitful exchanges and collaborations for years to come.
Acknowledgement: Needless to say, an international conference of this scale, with its coverage of wide-ranging subjects and size of broad participants from various disciplines across the world, would not have been possible without the collective efforts of many. We would like to thank the program committee, of 50 members
from 29 countries, for helping establish the rich program. The Local Organizing Committee: Eunice Carrasquinha (Co-chair, CEAUL-FCUL), Ivette Gomes (Co-chair, CEAUL-FCUL), Tiago Marques
(University of St Andrews, UK), Teresa A. Oliveira (Co-chair, CEAUL and Universidade Aberta), Soraia Pereira (CEAUL, Universidade de Lisboa), Giovani Silva (IST, CEAUL, Universidade de Lisboa), Lisete
Sousa (Universidade de Lisboa), have contributed their tremendous effort and time in every aspect of this endeavor, from helping organize sessions, finding conference venue to all the logistics up to the very
last minute, including banquet and tours. In particular, Ivette and Teresa brilliantly turned the messy and long conference program into a beautifully organized program book.
Our heartfelt thanks also go to Elyse Gustafson (IMS Executive Director) for her working overtime on the financial issues and other related formalities on behalf of the IMS, and to Arlene Gray (Administrator, ICSDS) for her patiently taking care of the nonstop inquiries and tracking numerous responses and requests from the participants and the conference organizing team.
Finally, we would be remiss not to acknowledge the invaluable contributions behind the scenes from Min Xu (IMS, Rutgers University), from setting up and managing the conference website, negotiating IT
support with the conference venue, to setting up the program and readying all the slides. He bravely and efficiently met head on all kinds of unexpected challenges, technical as well as personal. It suffices to
say that Min did all the heavy-lifting to make the conference program a reality for us all to enjoy.
