**************************************************************** * ICORS 2025 First announcement and call for papers * ****************************************************************

We are excited to announce that the ICORS 2025 - 24th International Conference on Robust Statistics (ICORS) will be held at the Hotel La Palma, Stresa (VA), Italy from Monday, May 19, to Friday, May 23, 2025.

The International Conference on Robust Statistics (ICORS) is the premier international event to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the interplay of robust statistics, data analysis, computer science, and visualization, and to build bridges between these fields for interdisciplinary research.

The conference welcomes contributions to applied statistics as well as theoretical statistics, in particular new problems related to robust statistics, machine learning and statistical learning, outlier detection, visualization and verbalization of data, data analysis and other important themes. Given the recent revolution in AI and on large language models, ICORS 2025 encourages contributions on the interplay between robustness issues in these new fields.
