STATISTICS AND DATA SCIENCE: NEW CHALLENGES, NEW GENERATIONS

University of Florence

June 28, 2017 – June 30, 2017


The 2017 SIS Conference aims to highlight the crucial role of the Statistics in Data Science. In this new domain of "meaning" extracted from the data, the increasing amount of produced and available data in databases, nowadays, has brought new challenges. That involves different fields of statistics, machine learning, information and computer science, optimization, pattern recognition. These afford together a considerable contribute in the analysis of "Big data", open data, relational and complex data, structured and no-structured.

The interest is to collect the contributes which provide from the different domains of Statistics, in the high dimensional data quality validation, sampling extraction, dimensional reduction, pattern selection, data modeling, testing hypotheses and confirming conclusions drawn from the data.

In the mention that statistics is the "grammar of data science", statistics has become a basic skill in data science: it gives right meaning to the data. Still, it isn't replaced by newer techniques from machine learning and other disciplines but it complements them.

The Conference is also addressed to the new challenges of the new generations: the native digital generations, who are called to develop professional skills as "data analyst", one of the more request professionality of the 21th Century, crossing the rigid disciplinary domains of competence. In this perspective, all the traditional statistical topics are admitted with an extension to the related machine learning and computer science ones.

Cancellation of SIS 2020 and postponement to 2021 of the 50th Scientific Meeting of the Italian Statistical Society

  

Due to the on-going Covid-19 pandemic, the Executive Board of the Italian Statistical Society and the Local Organizing Committee had to deliberate that it will not be possible to hold the Meeting of the Italian Statistical Society in June 2020, as expected. Given the extreme uncertainty of the outcomes of the pandemic in the immediate future we are unable to postpone the Meeting, but, with much regret, we are forced to cancel SIS 2020. To mitigate the impact of the cancellation of SIS 2020 on those who have already made their work for the conference, we have decided to publish the volume "Book of short papers - SIS 2020" (online with ISBN in the Pearson web-site) anyway. The volume will be published in September. For this reason, deadlines for the review of the papers have been changed:

  • Referee report to the authors: from the 3rd of April to the 15th of May
  • Sending final version of the paper from the authors: from the 17th of April to the 29th of May.

Notice that at least one of the authors of an accepted contributed paper has to pay the 2020 SIS membership fees by July 10th to have it included in the "Book of short papers - SIS 2020". This does not hold for the authors of invited papers. The series Springer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics (ProMS) with the extended version of the selected short papers will be not published.
