2026 SC2 Student Conference

Nov 06, 20268:30 AM - 5:00 PM

Please note that this event is open to Stanford affiliates only or by invitation.

Advanced statistical and computational insights are transforming all aspects of physics. The goal of PhyStat 2027: statistical inference from physics data in the age of AI is to bring together physics/statistics/data science/computer science researchers, practitioners, and educators who are interacting with physics data using modern tools.  Physics here is broadly defined and includes related fields within the physical sciences. The conference will include both methodology and applications involving complex statistical challenges.

Why Physics?

Many areas of physics have been in a big-data, precision era for decades. As such, they were early adopters of AI tools. The deep learning revolution of the last decade has transformative potential in physics, especially given the field’s culture of developing and using advanced statistical and computational techniques. Physics also has unique challenges that necessitate dedicated research and pedagogy. For example, the largest scientific datasets are not always images or text. Additionally, ab initio simulations often play a key role in physics research, leading to the rise of simulation-based inference. These and other aspects of physics have led to a growing research area at the intersection of physics and AI—with data physicists and phystatistians emerging as researchers at the forefront of novel methodology. 

Conference Structure

This Conference is modeled after the Machine Learning and Physical Sciences Workshop (MLPS) at NeurIPS. We welcome short research papers that will be peer reviewed and then ranked for impact by area chairs. Accepted papers will be published, and authors will be invited to present a poster. A small number of accepted papers will be selected for spotlight talks. The rest of the program will include invited talks and panels. Paper submission is open to all.
