ENBIS-Live: Real Problems. Real Time. Real Stats.
Join us for one of the most dynamic and interactive sessions of
the ENBIS conference — ENBIS-Live: Open Problem Solving in Action!
This is no ordinary talk. In this fast-paced, high-energy session, statisticians and
data scientists roll up their sleeves to tackle real-world open problems — live and
on the spot. Think of it as a collaborative brain trust powered by the collective
wisdom and creativity of the ENBIS community.
Here’s how it works:
🔍 Got a tricky problem? Volunteer to present it in 7 minutes. Outline the
background, the data science or statistical angle, and where you're stuck.
❓ Need clarity? The audience asks their burning questions.
💡 Have ideas? The floor opens to contributions, suggestions, and insights from
the crowd.
🧠 Wrap-up: The problem owner reflects on the input, and the session host ties it
all together.
Each problem gets 20–30 minutes of focused, expert attention. We’ll feature 2–3
open problems — so come ready to think, question, suggest, and be inspired!
Got a challenge you'd like to throw into the ring? Contact Jennifer Van Mullekom
(vanmuljh@vt.edu) and be part of this one-of-a-kind problem-solving spectacle.
Bring your brains. Bring your curiosity. And let’s solve some problems — ENBIS-
style.
