In connection with the IMS conference ICSDS 2026, an IMS Frontiers in Statistical Machine Learning (FSML) satellite workshop takes place on Monday, December 14, 2026 (also) in Split, Croatia, the day before the main conference.

This year’s themes are generative and foundation models for statistics, and the science of deep learning. The keynote speakers are Yuxin Chen, Alexander Henzi, Andrej Risteski, Pragya Sur, Yan Shuo Tan, and Yuexi Wang.

There are two ways to present a poster, both non-archival:

– Workshop Track: short papers of 3 to 5 pages, work in progress welcome. Ten US$500 travel awards for students and postdocs.
– Fast Track: papers already accepted at NeurIPS, ICLR, AISTATS, ICML, UAI, JMLR, or TMLR since August 2025. No additional review.

The deadline for both tracks is Monday, October 19

FSML 2026 organizers are:
Yuansi Chen, ETH Zurich
Sophie Langer, Ruhr University Bochum
Feng Liu, University of Melbourne
