In addition to selecting the short courses, the Education Committee is also in charge of organizing the Statistics in Practice session, which is part of the main scientific program that will run from 6-10 July 2020. The committee has picked a proposal that will be especially suited for this purpose. We would like to congratulate Professor Samuel Mueller and Dr. Garth Tarr who will present their session entitled Fast algorithms and modern visualisations for feature selection.
Congratulations to all! We look forward to seeing you in Seoul, Korea.
