IOF Workshop: Statistical Challenges in the Analysis of Police Use of Force
09 Nov 2023 - 10 Nov 2023 • Northfield, MN, United States
Organizer:
National Institute of Statistical Sciences
Abstract:
Excessive use of force by police is an urgent problem of concern to sociologists, statisticians, policymakers, and the general public. Issues with data quality, processing of unstructured data, tradeoffs between data access and privacy concerns, statistical challenges in analyzing fairness, and other topics have been highlighted as specific areas of concern. In addition, the methodologies used to analyze police use of force have also been extremely varied and results are often incompatible or rely on implausible unstated assumptions. This in-person Ingram Olkin Forum (IOF) workshop is an extension to our earlier online IOF webinar hosted in June 2021 featuring speakers Dean Knox (University of Pennsylvania), Travis Riddle (National Police Foundation), and Robin Engel (University of Cincinnati); the webinar was moderated by Claire Kelling (Carleton College). During the in-person forum, we hope to shed light not only on unique approaches and perspectives in these areas, but also to suggest steps that statisticians and researchers should consider that might aid in a deeper understanding of these issues and provide better evidence to support reform efforts.

International Workshop on Dynamic Probabilistic Safety Assessment and its Role in Risk-Informed Decision Making
16 Nov 2023 - 17 Nov 2023 • US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Rockville, MD, United States
Abstract:
Dynamic methodologies for probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) and risk assessment continue to advance steadily. A number of (primarily research-oriented) case studies have been published, demonstrating the additional capabilities and insights that dynamic PSA approaches can deliver, while advances in computational power and methods allow problems of increasing scale to be tackled. Recognising that both technical and organisational obstacles to the practical deployment of dynamic PSA remain, the Working Group on Risk Assessment (WGRISK) of the NEA Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) is carrying out a task to assess the potential role of currently available and emerging dynamic PSA tools and methodologies in risk-informed decision making, to identify the practical challenges for their application to support such decisions, and to evaluate the outlook for overcoming these challenges. With these goals, the WGRISK is organising an international workshop Dynamic Probabilistic Safety Assessment and its Role in Risk-Informed Decision Making to be hosted by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (US NRC) in Rockville, MD, United States, on 16-17 November 2023.

Workshop IV — Vertex Models: Algebraic and Probabilistic Aspects of Universality
20 May 2024 - 24 May 2024 • Los Angeles, CA, United States
Organizer:
Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM)
Abstract:
The interplay of integrable models of statistical mechanics with combinations of probability theory and algebraic methods such as transfer matrix formalism, diagram algebras, and quantum group techniques, has proved fruitful in the past decades in both mathematics and physics. It has been particularly beneficial to enhance interactions between researchers working at the interfaces of these areas. The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts in algebraic and probabilistic aspects of solvable lattice models as well as researchers working on related algebraic subjects who have a common interest in understanding universal phenomena such as KPZ behavior, limit shapes, and convergence of lattice models to CFT predictions. In particular, we aim to develop interactions between different approaches to the study of lattice models, such as Bethe ansatz, (inhomogeneous) CFT methods and the tangent method. Other topics of potential interest include multi-species, forest fires and sandpile models, for which such interactions are less developed as for now. We also intend to foster interactions between researchers studying quantum groups and CFT on the one hand and probabilists working on SLE/CLE topics on the other, hoping for a fruitful synthesis of ideas and techniques.

8th International Workshop in Sequential Methodologies
21 May 2024 - 24 May 2024 • Orem, Utah, United States
Organizer:
Department of Mathematics at Utah Valley University (UVU)
Abstract:
The International Workshop in Sequential Methodologies (IWSM) is a biennial conference that covers all aspects of sequential methodologies in statistics, applied mathematics, information theory, change point detection, and virtually any applications in mathematical finance, quality control, clinical trials, signal and image processing, and other related fields. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and users from all areas of sequential methodologies. The presentations are not limited to the field of sequential analysis. Speakers from other areas of probability, statistics, and related areas are welcome.

Introductory Workshop: Probability and Statistics of Discrete Structures
27 Jan 2025 - 31 Jan 2025 • Berkeley, California, United States
Organizer:
Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath)
Abstract:
Networks, graph driven algorithms, and dynamics on graphs such as epidemics, random walks and centrality measures all play a major role, both in our daily lives as well as many scientific and engineering disciplines. This introductory workshop will bring together experts and junior researchers in combinatorics, probability, and statistics to share a broad vision of major challenges and objectives, with a primary focus on models of random graphs and their limits, network inference, dynamic processes on networks and algorithms and optimization on random structures.
Topics:
Network models and random graphs, statistcal learning and network inference, counting and sampling discrete structures, dynamics on networks, probabilistic analysis of network algorithms
