Description
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!
This year we would like to take it one step further to test how AI fares as a collaborative problem solver.
Got a challenge you'd like to throw into the ring or want to use your AI skills for one or more problems? 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!
