Learn R for Applied Data Analysis

Code Horizons will host Introduction to R for Data Analysis, a 3-day livestream seminar taught by Andrew Miles, on October 1-3.

This course is designed as an introduction to R for those who are looking to use R for applied statistical tasks and data management. You will learn how R “thinks” so you can tailor it to your own analyses and use the software independently.

Preview the first hour of this course on the Code Horizons YouTube channel!

This seminar will be held via Zoom, but you can also join asynchronously by viewing the recorded videos of each session.
Please share this information with anyone who may be interested. Email kaity@statisticalhorizons.com with any questions.

Thanks,
Kaity

Call for workshops & special sessions

================================

*Workshops* are an important part of IEEE AIxVR and complement the main program. They offer the opportunity to discuss topics related to AR/VR and AI more focused, explore new research directions and novel applications, and provide excellent opportunities for networking. Workshops should have a call for papers and therefore typically feature several regular paper presentations. These can be complemented with other activities such as invited talks, panels, demos, roundtables, and hands-on sessions.

*Special sessions* provide organizers with an opportunity to host a session about a dedicated topic related to the conference as part of the technical program. Organizers are expected to recruit submissions, invite speakers, and take other related actions to organize their sessions. They should have a separate call for papers and typically feature at least four paper presentations, which can be complemented with other activities, such as invited talks or panels.

Workshops & special sessions will be integrated into the main conference, which will take place from Jan 26-28, 2025, in Osaka, Japan. People interested in hosting such events at IEEE AIxVR 2026 should check the related call (https://aivr.science.uu.nl/2026/aixvr2026_cfw.html) and submit their proposals by Sep 15 at the latest. To facilitate promotion and maximise participation, proposals will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and notifications will be sent within a couple of days after submission and no later than Sep 20, 2025. Early submissions are highly encouraged.
