Some timeslots of 25 minutes with a 5 minute transition will be available; please indicate if you would like to be considered for one of these longer presentations.

We are looking for presentations in the following general categories. Research talks should be targeted to an audience primarily of non-specialists.

There will be dedicated tracks in Computer Science as well as in Statistics/Data Science.
