July Seminars: Hands-on AI and Machine Learning for Researchers

June 9th, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise
Hello everyone,

Statistical Horizons and AI Horizons will host the following livestream seminars:

  • Using LLMs for Social Science Research*, taught by Ethan C. Busby, July 7-10. Explore the fundamentals of large language models (LLMs) and their applications in social and behavioral research, including open-ended response coding, synthetic sample generation, experimental treatments, and effective prompt engineering. Preview the first hour on YouTube!
  • Using AI to Build Better Experiments*, taught by Charles Crabtree, July 14-17. Use LLMs to improve experimental design, implementation, and analysis by generating and validating materials, building AI-powered chatbot studies, and applying automated text analysis. 
  • Claude-Powered Academic Research: From Ideation to Publication*, taught by Jeffrey Dotson, July 21-24. Learn how to use Claude tools and GitHub to support the full academic research workflow, from refining research questions and organizing replication-ready codebases to wrangling data, running analyses, and preparing polished writing.

  • Machine Learning, taught by Bruce Desmarais, July 21-24. Gain a comprehensive understanding of machine learning concepts and practical applications, and use these powerful techniques to enhance your research and analysis. This training counts toward the 4-course Machine Learning Certification.

All seminars are livestreamed via Zoom, with full recordings available for asynchronous viewing.

  • Smart Food and Agriculture

  • Smart City Services and Infrastructure

  • Data Spaces in the Smart City Ecosystem

  • Sustainable Cities and Communities

  • General Track

Authors are encouraged to submit work that addresses analytical models, empirical studies, experimental deployments, simulation results, and real-world case studies that contribute to advancing theory, practice, and policy in smart cities.

All submitted papers will undergo a strict peer-review process to uphold the high scientific standards of IEEE conferences. Accepted contributions, if presented at the conference, will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library and are eligible for consideration in associated journal special issues, subject to meeting IEEE publication criteria.

Other ways to contribute

In addition to the thematic tracks forming the core of the scientific programme, IEEE ISC2 2026 will be further enriched by a range of complementary activities. The special tracks will address emerging and highly focused topics; workshops will provide a forum for work in progress, preliminary research results, and interactive discussions; tutorials will offer instructional sessions on methodologies, tools, and standards; and exhibitions will showcase the latest developments from industry and municipalities.
