Akaike Memorial Lecture Award
The Institute of Statistical Mathematics (ISM) and the Japan Statistical Society (JSS) started discussions to launch the Akaike Memorial Lecture Award as their joint program to commemorate the late Dr. Hirotugu Akaike’s achievements and impact in statistical science in 2014. This award launched May 2016 to provide Japanese and other statistical scientists with opportunities to network and interact with each other, nurture junior researchers, and advance statistical science. Since October 2023, this award has been jointly managed by ISM and ISM and the Japanese Federation of Statistical Science Associations (JFSSA), of which JSS is a member.
The lecture will be presented during the Japanese Joint Statistical Meeting, a combined meeting of the organizations involved in the statistical sciences, and will feature a biennial lecturer recognized for his or her research accomplishments in this field. A memorial to the legacy of Dr. Hirotugu Akaike, we hope that this lecture will be a valuable stimulus to the minds ofyounger colleagues and contribute to the development of the statistical sciences.
To promote the education of students and young researchers, the Akaike Memorial Lecture features a selected board of representatives who will engage in discussions after the lecture. The lecture and follow-up discussion will be published as an invited paper in the Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics (AISM) .
