Summary
The 2026 ASA Statistical Methods in Imaging (SMI) Conference will take place June 1-3, 2026 at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. This annual symposium serves as a vital hub for bringing together researchers to discuss the rapidly evolving role of statistics, mathematics, and AI in imaging science. From medical scans that detect disease to telescopes that capture distant galaxies, images are fundamental to modern discovery. However, extracting reliable and meaningful information from this visual data requires sophisticated mathematical, advanced statistical tools, and novel AI services.
