LASR 2026: Statistics, Deep Learning and Graphical Models

Join us for the upcoming Leeds Annual Statistical Research (LASR) Workshop on 29 - 30 June 2026.

About the workshop 

Leeds Annual Statistical Research (LASR) Workshops started about 50 years ago by Professor Kanti Mardia as an Annual Event to foster Interdisciplinary Research in Statistics in an emerging area of science. LASR today is a well-established international conference and has been instrumental in bringing together different scientific communities over the years. The workshop format is a mixture of invited and contributed talks. It has a tradition of being informal, and relaxed and encouraging interaction and discussion between the participants.

This year, the workshop focus is on three key areas: (1) deep learning approaches to protein structure prediction, (2) statistical learning for medical imaging analysis, and (3) developments in graphical models and Networks Stuctures.

The scientific program features three keynote lectures by distinguished researchers alongside contributed talks spanning all career stages, from early-career researchers to established mid-career scientists.
