Abstract Submission

Abstract Submission Deadline - March 31, 2025

Every year, the Scientific Programming Committee (SPC) for The Classification Society reviews all of the abstracts submitted for an oral presentation and selects up to 9 contributors to give oral presentations at the Annual Meeting based primarily on the novelty and topic variety of the submissions. This is a competitive process, the success rate depends on the number of submissions received, but in recent history has sat around 50-65%. Unsuccessful submissions are generally encouraged to present their work during the poster session. The SPC decisions are final, and the committee reserves the right to balance the program with respect to additional considerations - for example, the academic level of speakers, variety of topics, etc. For the 2025 annual meeting, the SPC has decided to ask each contributor for more details of their proposed talk.

This information will be provided in the program.
Describe the motivation(s) for, and objective(s) of, the proposed work. For example, what scientific problem did classification methods help you solve? Or, why did you develop the proposed statistical model? What drawbacks in the current literature are you trying to address? What are the applications of interest that need this new tool? Explain why this project is important. This will only be used during committee deliberations and will not appear publicly anywhere.
Based on the motivation(s) discussed previously, provide up to 3 full citations and brief context for them with respect to your talk. For example, what are some established approaches to your scientific problem? What are the main competitors to your new method? This will only be used during committee deliberations and will not appear publicly anywhere.
Describe the key findings of your work. For example, does the proposed model out-perform other state-of-the-art models using simulations or real data sets? Do classification methods help answer important scientific problems in your field? What will future work in the area look like? Here, we are looking for you to explain the most important results from your proposed project and provide forward-looking context. This will only be used during committee deliberations and will not appear publicly anywhere.
This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
