AMS Special Session on Algebraic Statistics in Our Changing World

• Wednesday January 8, 2025, 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
  AMS Special Session on Algebraic Statistics in Our Changing World, I
  Algebra plays an important role in tackling statistical challenges, due to underlying mathematical structures that arise in modeling and inference. As a result, the field of algebraic statistics has emerged. This session pairs domain-specific expertise and developments in algebraic statistics to form interdisciplinary connections for addressing challenges in our changing world. The session aims to identify areas for progress within these applications with a focus on AI and machine learning.
