In studies examining the effectiveness of an intervention, the availability of a surrogate marker that could be used to estimate the intervention effect and could be observed earlier than the primary outcome would allow researchers to make conclusions regarding effectiveness with less required follow-up time. Statistical methodological research on identifying such surrogate markers, assessing the value of such markers, determining when these markers should be collected, and developing tools to use these markers for future studies has led to numerous available methods and has highlighted a number of limitations. There is little agreement on the appropriate approach to identify, validate, and use surrogate markers. This workshop will bring together statisticians, biostatisticians, and epidemiologists to build on recent methodological advances in the evaluation of surrogate markers to identify robust methods that could appropriately be used in practice while also quantifying potential risks if certain necessary assumptions are violated

S+SSPR 2020 is a joint biannual event organized by Technical Committee 1 (Statistical Pattern Recognition Technique) and Technical Committee 2 (Structural and Syntactical Pattern Recognition) of the International Association of Pattern Recognition (IAPR).

The goal of this conference is to promote recent advances in Numerical Analysis related to Stochastic Partial Differential Equations and/or random processes and their applications. It covers various domains from simulation and analysis of numerical methods for PDE, SDE or SPDE, to propagation of uncertainty and the development of efficient simulation methods for random processes.

The program aims at studying emerging questions on game theory and applications thereof. Some of the most relevant topics of investigation in game theory revolve around the idea of solution concept for a game, the complexity of its calculation, the ability of agents to learn it, its efficiency, and its nature when the game must satisfy some constraints, such as the ones imposed by an underlying network structure.

What could be a bigger source of "big data" than the entire Universe? Researchers in statistics and computer science are developing new methods to analyse the "big data" that companies and governments want to understand. To test out these methods they need big datasets that everyone can share - and new astronomical telescopes just happen to be gearing up to generate observations of billions of stars and galaxies that fit the bill. Insights from statistics will help astrophysicists to get the most out of these observations. The Astrostatistics 2021 workshop will bring together statisticians and astrophysicists to learn the technical languages of the two fields and identify how to work together to combine the excitement of space with big data.

The workshop will bring together some of the world's top experts and promising young researchers working at the interface of Stochastics and Geometry, broadly understood. Through expository talks and research presentations, the workshop will give a vibrant overview of the most recent developments in the interaction between analysis, geometry and stochastic analysis. The focus of the workshop will be different approaches to random processes in geometric settings, with emphasis on problems on heat kernel analysis on finite- and infinite-dimensional manifolds, sometimes equipped with degenerate geometries, as well as random matrices and non-commutative probability and geometric rough paths. Another objective of the workshop is to identify fundamental open problems in this area that are motivated by mathematical physics and other potential applications. We plan to maintain geographic diversity and also to invite some of the most promising junior mathematicians.

This is the third event of a series of conferences featuring talks by leading researchers in the three areas who are also capable of conveying their message to the audience coming from various regions of these fields. Beside the leading senior figures we also invite as speakers a smaller number of younger colleagues who have already shown their lion's claws.

Particle Physicists study matter at is smallest scale and try to reveal how the physical world is constructed from elementary particles and the forces acting between them. The well-known proton, neutron and similar particles are composed of quarks. Atoms also contain electrons; together with the two heavier versions of the electron (the muon and tau), each with its associated neutrino, they make up the group of leptons. Another ingredient of the catalogue of particles is the Higgs boson, discovered at the CERN Lab's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012.

The systematic study of random graphs commenced with the seminal work of Erd" os and Renyi in the 1960s. Beyond the classical connections and synergies between random graphs and computer science, over the last few years a new exciting connection between random graphs and statistical inference has been discovered. These connections have led to important new insights on computational problems and statistical inference problems and to new methods for the analysis of random graphs or random discrete structures in general. In addition, since the late 1990s an insightful approach called the cavity method by physicists has been applied to put forward predictions on structural properties of random graphs and their phase transitions. More recently, it has inspired new algorithms for statistical inference problems such as message passing algorithms and novel spectral algorithms. With this workshop we hope to stimulate research and foster new exciting interdisciplinary collaborations between researchers with different backgrounds and expertise in random graphs, computer science, probability, statistics, statistical inference and information theory.

Advances in data collection and social media have led to network and graph data becoming available in many areas, including social sciences, biological sciences, and engineering. Understanding and modeling network structure, as well as conducting rigorous statistical inference to assess uncertainty, can provide crucial insights into the dynamics and interaction mechanisms of the system. Statistical network analysis to date has largely focused on the setting where a single network is observed as a noisy version of some underlying structure of interest. This setting in itself is challenging, requiring adaptation of existing statistical frameworks to networks and bridging the gap between theoretically optimal performance and computational feasibility. The workshop will start by covering recent advances in this setting.

This workshop brings together both theoreticians and practitioners from broadly different fields to advance algebraic statistical methodology to data science. While linear algebra underlies classical statistics, in algebraic statistics, the aim is to explore the applicability of nonlinear algebra---which extends algebraic theory beyond linear algebra---to statistical theory. In particular, our goal is to advance the computational feasibility of algebraic statistics. Our focus is specifically on direct applicability of algebraic statistical theory to real datasets. Additionally, this workshop explores other statistical settings that are also algebraic in nature and that find practical applications in various different fields, where nonlinear algebra may also be applied.

Nonlinear inverse problems are ubiquitous in medical sciences, engineering, physics and other natural sciences. This workshop will advance a statistical paradigm that allows underpinning statistical decision making in such problems in a scientifically rigorous way. This will be achieved by providing `frequentist' large sample guarantees for inferences arising from commonly used (Bayesian or non-Bayesian) algorithms in such problems. Thereby, a large cluster of applied problems, where algorithms are used for day-to-day decision making with statistical data, will be put on a solid and robust foundation, facilitating its confident use in modern society.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers working on objective Bayesian methodology, nonparametric Bayesian methods and machine learning. Objective Bayesian methods are evolving from a historically narrower focus on issues related to prior specification to research themes that are more broadly related to default methods in Bayesian statistical analysis. This naturally leads to an increasing overlap with Bayesian nonparametric modeling and machine learning. The workshop seeks to exploit this increasing intersection by bringing together participants from all three research communities.
