'Spatial Statistics 2025: At the Dawn of AI' still welcomes abstract submissions.
The 7th Spatial Statistics conference will be held at NH Leeuwenhoorst, Noordwijk, the Netherlands, from 15 to 18 July 2025, under the theme "At the Dawn of AI".
As suggested by the thematic title, during the conference, specific attention will be given to the opportunities and challenges that Artificial Intelligence (AI) opens up and to the possibilities for spatial statistics to be developed further with AI. The latest developments in spatial statistics will be presented, emphasising their contributions at the dawn of AI, now and in the future. Optimal use of collected data, predicting in space and time, object recognition and segmentation, and transferability in the presence of spatial and temporal correlations are typical, but not exhaustive examples.
These are the selected key dates for the conference:
** Abstract submission deadline: 14 February 2025
** Workshop proposal deadline: 24 March 2025
** Author notification deadline: 21 March 2025
** Author registration deadline: 2 May 2025
** Early booking deadline: 2 May 2025
Conference topics address both methods and applications with a wide coverage of issues:
- Methods: spatial deep learning, spatial statistical learning, neural networks in space, large language models in space, natural language processing for spatial challenges, spatio/temporal modeling of points and objects, causality in space and time, modeling and predicting of extremes, space-time statistics (geostatistics, point patterns, estimation methods, large dimensions), discrete spatial variation, spatial and spatio/temporal variability and dependence, stochastic geometry, tessellation, point processes, random sets.
- Applications: environment: soil, water, atmosphere,interface of neural computing and spatial/spatio-temporal statistics, climate system modeling and observations,health e.g. epidemiology, geohealth and global health, spatially-explicit ecological models, plant and animal epidemiology, quantifying the spatial extent of hazards and risk, crime, poverty, liveability mapping.
