The objective of ICSDS is to bring together researchers in statistics and data science from academia, industry, and government in a stimulating setting to exchange ideas on the developments of modern statistics, machine learning, and broadly defined theory, methods, and applications in data science. There will be a student paper award competition, in addition to plenary sessions, and invited, contributed and poster sessions. Young researchers are particularly encouraged to participate, as a portion of the invited sessions will be designated for young researchers.
