S102 - Gini-Weighted Risk Control in Adaptive Generative Augmentation
Tuesday October 6, 2026 00:30 - 01:00 UTC
Zoom Room #1
Generative data augmentation is widely used to address class imbalance by enriching minority classes with synthetic samples. Existing approaches typically employ a fixed augmentation strength across all classes, ignoring differences in class imbalance, data structure, and generative quality. We propose an adaptive augmentation framework that determines class-specific augmentation strengths using both class proportions and structural information measured through Gini correlation. This strategy allocates more synthetic data to underrepresented and weakly structured classes while limiting augmentation for well-represented classes.

We develop a theoretical framework showing that the resulting excess risk is controlled by a weighted combination of class-conditional Wasserstein discrepancies and Gini-based structural factors. We further establish consistency results and demonstrate that adaptive augmentation provides tighter control of risk distortion than fixed augmentation schemes.

Experiments on imbalanced classification datasets show consistent improvements in minority-class recall and macro-F1 performance, while empirical results closely match theoretical predictions. The proposed framework provides a principled, structure-aware foundation for generative data augmentation.

S201- Vision-Language Models and the Harms of Covert Sexualization
Tuesday October 6, 2026 00:30 - 01:00 UTC
Zoom Room #2
Vision-language models (VLMs) increasingly mediate how bodies are described, moderated, and rendered in online spaces through content moderation, AI-generated images and videos, and descriptions of real bodies. Prior work establishes that VLMs sexually objectify bodies that are partially clothed more than fully clothed ones, and that plus-size bodies — particularly those belonging to women and AFAB persons — are disproportionately censored on social media platforms for being “inappropriate.” However, scholars lack the tools to detect when a model *objectifies* a body, rather than merely describing it, and whether this behavior differs across body *shapes*, rather than just body sizes. This talk describes a study in which we investigate these phenomena using swimwear try-on images matched across body morphology, comparing high-contrast silhouettes (i.e., a smaller waist relative to hips and bust) against lower-contrast silhouettes under identical prompting conditions. We ask whether VLMs describe these bodies differently despite equivalent context and whether unwanted objectification or descriptive drift disproportionately burdens those with high-contrast bodies, with a focus on covert (i.e., safety guardrail compliant) sexualization. By making the harms of these phenomena visible and measurable, this work gives researchers and auditors the ability to hold systems accountable when they objectify or censor women and AFAB persons based on their appearance.

S206 - Beyond Simulation: Benchmarking for Method Comparison in Statistics and Machine Learning
Tuesday October 6, 2026 09:00 - 09:30 UTC
Zoom Room #2
When initiating a statistical or machine learning analysis, one of the first and most consequential questions is: which method should be used for a given dataset? Traditional approaches for comparing methods include theoretical derivations and data simulation studies, which provide insight into method performance under controlled conditions. However, these approaches may not fully reflect the complexity of real-world data. Benchmarking—systematic comparison of methods across many real datasets—offers a complementary approach that can improve generalizability and provide practical guidance. Despite its common use in computer science, benchmarking remains underutilized in statistical methodology as new methods continue to emerge.

In this talk, I will discuss benchmarking in the context of statistical and machine learning research and contrast it with theory and simulation. I will outline key principles for conducting rigorous benchmarking studies and illustrate them using two case studies: benchmarking random forest variable selection methods for categorical and continuous outcomes and comparing methods for time-to-event data using the mlr3 framework. Together, these examples demonstrate how benchmarking can enhance scientific rigor, provide practical guidance for method selection, and support more transparent and reproducible methodological research.

S403 - Change point detection and its applications
Tuesday October 6, 2026 12:00 - 13:00 UTC
Zoom Room #4
Change point detection has long been an active and important area of statistical research because structural changes frequently arise in data collected over time or across different conditions. Detecting these changes helps researchers better understand complex processes and make more informed decisions in fields such as public health, finance, genomics, environmental science, manufacturing, and engineering, where the ability to detect shifts in trends, variability, or dependence structures can provide valuable insights into complex systems. As the volume and complexity of modern data continue to grow, the development of robust and efficient change point techniques remains a significant research challenge and opportunity. This invited session brings together researchers from three countries to present new methods and real-world applications of change point analysis. The session will highlight recent advances in the field, encourage international collaboration, and showcase the broad impact of change point research across diverse disciplines.

S113 - Navigating Data Sharing in Medical Research
Tuesday October 6, 2026 12:30 - 13:00 UTC
Zoom Room #1
Open science is pivotal in advancing medical research by promoting accessibility and collaboration among researchers globally, and biostatisticians play a critical role in supporting these efforts. Shared datasets and software code, particularly those developed using time-intensive algorithms, are fundamental for fostering replicability and improving research efficiency for other scientists. Open access publications accompanied by publicly available data and code also help reduce disparities in knowledge access by making research materials available to researchers who might otherwise lack access. This presentation will explore data sharing principles and experiences, highlighting two recent studies: one on smoking behaviors in the United States and another on the association between caregiving and psychological well-being among Florida college students. The resulting datasets were shared under specific terms of use via Harvard Dataverse to facilitate further medical research. In addition, a subset of the tobacco use data and sample code were shared through the Resources Portal of the Teaching of Statistics in the Health Sciences Section of the American Statistical Association to support the teaching of survey methods. The presentation is intended for students, researchers, and practitioners interested in data sharing and open science.

S117 - Privacy Doesn't End at the Match: Querying PPRL Data in Practice
Tuesday October 6, 2026 14:30 - 15:00 UTC
Zoom Room #1
Privacy-preserving record linkage (PPRL) has a rich methodological literature on encoding, matching, and cryptographic guarantees — but comparatively little guidance exists on what happens after the match: how do researchers actually access, query, and analyze the linked data that results? This presentation addresses that gap directly, walking through real-world architectures used by statistical agencies, such as the U.S. Census Bureau's linkage key infrastructure and UK Trusted Research Environments, to control researcher access to linked data. We’ll cover how to handle potential uncertainty when analyzing linked data, such as producing confidence tiers, adjusting thresholds, and a novel approach to clerical review within the PPRL system. We’ll also walk through concrete querying structures such as linkage maps and secure enclaves and will explore examples of queries and their outputs. Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of the access-and-analysis landscape for linked data, practical considerations for designing their own linkage projects, and a better sense of how privacy shapes analysis.

Generative AI is rapidly reshaping the landscape of statistics and business analytics education, offering new opportunities to improve course design, assignment development, and feedback processes. This panel will share practical strategies for integrating AI into teaching workflows while maintaining statistical rigor and fostering student understanding.

We highlight approaches for AI-assisted case and assignment design, including adaptive scenarios in which students pose questions, request instructor-controlled synthetic data, and iteratively refine their analyses. These methods promote deeper engagement with modeling choices, assumptions, and critical thinking-core goals of statistics education.

The panel also demonstrates how AI can support assessment and feedback, from automated classwide test analysis to personalized guidance that helps students interpret results and correct misconceptions.

Attendees will leave with concrete examples, implementation tips, and considerations for responsible use of AI tools in statistics and business analytics classrooms.

S302 - Emerging Computational Methods in Statistical Inference: Multivariate Analysis, Bayesian Shrinkage, and Advanced Regression Modeling
Tuesday October 6, 2026 17:00 - 18:00 UTC
Zoom Room #1
This session presents novel computational and methodological advancements in modern statistical inference, focusing on complex data structures such as multivariate, longitudinal, and high-dimensional survival data. The presentations span both frequentist and Bayesian paradigms, featuring innovative strategies to overcome long-standing computational bottlenecks commonly encountered in such investigations. The session opens with a new framework for multivariate order-restricted statistical inference under a general grass ordering, applying a pairwise optimization criterion and introducing an efficient vector projection-based algorithm to estimate the order-restricted mean matrix. It then transitions into the Bayesian realm with two complementary presentations on longitudinal quantile regression. These back-to-back talks first present a robust partially collapsed Gibbs sampler to conquer convergence failures in high dimensions and then showcase a Bayesian adaptive LASSO framework that utilizes clustering-based shrinkage for simultaneous optimal quantile estimation and sparse variable selection. The session concludes by extending advanced continuous shrinkage priors to survival analysis, presenting a hybrid minorize-maximize algorithm for high-dimensional proportional hazards models using the horseshoe+ prior. Together, these talks highlight recent developments of highly efficient algorithms to extract reliable inferences from high-dimensional and complicated datasets.

S506 - Recent Advances in Sequential Inference
Tuesday October 6, 2026 20:00 - 21:00 UTC
Zoom Room #5
Sequential analysis continues to play a central role in modern statistics by enabling data-driven decision making while balancing statistical efficiency, computational cost, and practical constraints. This session highlights recent methodological advances in sequential and multistage inference across a range of contemporary statistical problems. Topics include sequential estimation of distributional overlap with boundary corrections for reliable confidence interval construction, multistage algorithms for efficient data compression under growing dimensions, penalized sequential estimation and variable selection for recurrent event models with high-dimensional covariates, and multistage sampling strategies for constructing minimum-risk confidence regions for multivariate means. Together, these contributions illustrate how sequential methodologies are being extended beyond their classical foundations to address challenges arising from high-dimensional data, adaptive sampling, optimization of statistical risk, and modern computational applications.

S123 - Borrowing Strength: Statistical Strategies for Imperfect Data
Tuesday October 6, 2026 22:00 - 23:00 UTC
Zoom Room #1
This session highlights how modern biostatistics tackles a shared challenge across very different problems: making valid, efficient inference when the data we have is incomplete, limited, imbalanced, or imperfectly comparable to the question we want to answer. Talks in this session explore how statisticians "borrow strength" – from historical or external data sources, from related but heterogeneous datasets, from carefully constructed causal designs, and from generative models that learn the structure of missingness itself – to push beyond the limitations of any single dataset. Together, these four talks, spanning clinical trials, large-scale survey methodology, high-dimensional prediction, and observational causal inference, showcase the breadth of ideas at the intersection of biostatistics, machine learning, and causal reasoning, and the methodological creativity required to turn imperfect data into trustworthy conclusions.

S412 - Building Trustworthy Financial Systems with Explainable AI: Applications in Credit Risk Modeling and Financial Inclusion
Tuesday October 6, 2026 22:00 - Wednesday October 7, 2026 18:30 UTC
Zoom Room #4
Artificial intelligence is transforming how financial institutions assess creditworthiness, detect fraud, and expand access to financial services. Yet many of today's most powerful machine learning models remain opaque, making consequential decisions that customers, regulators, and even financial institutions struggle to interpret. As AI adoption accelerates, ensuring transparency, accountability, and fairness has become essential to building public trust and achieving equitable financial outcomes.
