Congratulations to Our First Place Poster Winner!
We are excited to announce the winner of our annual JSM Poster Competition! This competition recognizes outstanding student research in text analysis, with a focus on innovative methodologies or applications that address high-impact problems. Posters that resonate with the JSM 2025 theme, “Statistics, Data Science, and AI Enriching Society,” were especially encouraged.
We are thrilled to congratulate Crystal Zang (fifth-year Biostatistics Ph.D. Candidate, University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health) for being selected as our First Place Winner! Crystal’s poster (Supervised Matrix Factorization for Estimating Individualized Treatment Rule) impressed the judges with its creativity, rigor, and real-world impact. She will receive a prize of $300 in recognition of this achievement.
Congratulations again, Crystal, on this well-deserved honor!
