Introducing SIAM’s First Conference on Mathematics of Data Science (MDS20)

SIAM is proud to introduce its first ever Conference on Mathematics of Data Science (MDS20). This conference will provide a forum to present work that advances mathematical, statistical, and computational methods in the context of data and information sciences. The aim is to unite researchers who are building mathematical foundations for data science and making principled applications to science, engineering, technology, and society. 

This conference is being held May 5-7, 2020, in Cincinnati, Ohio, and will be co-located with the SIAM International Conference on Data Mining (SDM20) in cooperation with GAMM. Learn more about MDS20 deadlines, registration, and more below.

Minisymposium Proposals

Looking to present your research? The deadline for minisymposium proposals is October 7, 2019.

A minisymposium generally consists of four 25-minute presentations, with an additional five minutes for discussion after each presentation. To ensure balance, SIAM prefers a single individual not be the organizer or co-organizer of more than one minisymposium, however, organizers can submit up to two (2) parts per minisymposium, allowing up to eight (8) speakers. In addition, SIAM discourages minisymposia in which most of the speakers or co-authors come from the same institution.

Each minisymposium speaker should submit an abstract no longer than 1,500 characters, including spaces. The organizing committee will referee minisymposium proposals. The number of minisymposia may be limited to retain an acceptable level of parallelism in the conference sessions.

For more information, please visit the Guidelines for Preparing a Minisymposium Proposal.
