Summary
The conference "Statistics Beyond Euclid: Functional Data, Random Objects and AI" will be held on November 13–14, 2026, at the University of California, Davis. Modern scientific data is increasingly captured in complex, non-traditional formats—such as the evolving shape of a virus, the connectivity patterns of a social network, or the continuous movement recorded by a wearable health monitor. Unlike simple numbers or coordinates, these "non-Euclidean" objects do not follow standard geometric rules, rendering traditional statistical tools ineffective for making accurate predictions or quantifyi
