The YS-ISI (young statisticians' group in International Statistical Institute) is pleased to announce that it will propose Invited Paper Sessions (IPS) on the topics ‘Statistical Computing and Data Visualization’ and ‘Statistics in Pattern Recognition: Applications to Biometric Security’ for the 62nd ISI World Statistics Congress 2019, Aug 18-23, 2019, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (http://www.isi2019.org). The IPS are central to the success of the Congress and therefore the ISI tries to ensure that the IPS are of high quality. The above sessions have been proposed keeping this in mind and are targeted towards early career statisticians who would benefit from knowledge regarding the best practices in data visualization and innovative applications of statistics in the areas of pattern recognition and biometric security.
The YS-ISI invites applications from young statisticians interested in delivering a talk in any one of above sessions. Interested speakers are requested to contact the Chair of the YS-ISI, Han-Ming Wu, at hmwu@gm.ntpu.edu.tw with the following information: name of session, title of talk, name of speaker, email, affiliation, and a short abstract of the talk. To ensure full consideration, please submit your application by 20th March 2018. As in previous Congresses, each IPS session will normally have 3 to 4 speakers and a discussant, and an approximate duration of 100 minutes or 120 minutes.
