Updates from the HLG-MOS Projects | |||
---|---|---|---|
Generative AI | Dublin Sprint, scheduled for September 25-27, at the CSO Central Statistics Office. This event has garnered attention from various sectors, including colleagues from the OECD who have expressed plans to attend. Additionally, we are arranging presentations by domain experts on the governance of GenAI, focusing on providing practical insights into its application. Further information on the agenda and speakers will be shared as it becomes available. A presentation on the work has also been delivered at the Irving Fisher Committee on Central Bank Statistics on August 22. | ||
Open-Source Software Project | The Open-Source Software Project (OSSP) has been conducting sub-team and plenary meetings. The two sub-teams are two sub-groups are "Governance and Maintenance" (chair Kate Burnett-Isaacs) and "Repositories and Discoverability". Drafting work is continuing on the Project Report. Documents and links can be found in the Project homepage. The Sprint meeting will be held on September 18-20 in Belgrade, hosted by local NSO SORS. |
Updates from the Modernization Groups | |||
---|---|---|---|
Blue-skies Thinking | Identifying Topics/Opportunities | CONTINIOUS |
|
Future of NSIs | IN PROGRESS | Al chapter workshops have been completed, and all section drafts were submitted to the General Editors for review. The General Editors meeting in August reviewed the drafts and will provide comments to the editors of the sections. Osama will summarise the key points of the section drafts in a single document and provide such in a few weeks time. Andrew is creating a single document to combine the section drafts. The event in Japan will not go ahead, otherwise plans remain unchanged. | |
Applying Data Science and Modern Methods | General Overview | IN PROGRESS | Good progress has been made by the 2 Task Teams. Last Report I reported the potential for a HLG-MOS meeting in Japan - unfortunately, due to various challenges this meeting will not proceed (yet). We have unfortunately paused work on the Applied Data Science Collaboration initiative due to current resource pressures in several NSOs. We hope to be able to pick it up again in the next financial year. We will keep the three short-listed topics (PETs – EO/Mobile Data/Geospatial – Nowcasting) on the priority list for when we’re able to restart. |
Task Team #1: Uncertainty Quantification | IN PROGRESS | The project team have held a few meetings since the last update, although they skipped the monthly task team meeting in August. Here are some of the highlights: Task Team Meetings and Presentations
Subgroup Meetings

Task Team #2: Advancing Responsible AI. | IN PROGRESS | The project has been divided into 9 modules, each with designated responsible persons. Work is being advanced independently within each module. Over the summer, substantial content has already been developed for almost every module. The plan for the summer also included identifying the target group or groups to whom each module will be specifically directed. Additionally, the aim was to consider what methods each module will use to ensure that the content is easily understood by the target groups. The next joint meeting is scheduled for September 12th, where the progress of each individual group will be reviewed. The deadline for all modules (except for the regulatory framework module) is the end of August, by which time a draft of the content must be ready. Similarly, a draft of the methods to be used should also be prepared. In the next phase, in addition to the methods, the time each module will need to advance its topic should also be determined. There should also be a preliminary designation of the individuals who will be responsible for practically implementing the modules. | |
Capabilities and Communication | Work and Job of the Future - Extended work on Generic Growth Model | IN PROGRESS | A message requesting wider distribution and use of the Generic Growth Model was sent to countries at the end of May together with the surveys. We have received responses from a few countries confirming that they will distribute the models in their offices, but no comments on the model were provided. |
Data Analytics | IN PROGRESS | Task Team is working on paper on data analyses in HR. It should be ready and presented during HRMT workshop and HLG MOS workshop. | |
Evaluation of blended (hybrid working) | IN PROGRESS | Task Team (TT) is working on analysing answers from survey. TT is also working on paper which will be presented during HRMT workshop and HLG MOS workshop. | |
Employer branding | IN PROGRESS | Task Team (TT) is working on analysing answers from survey. TT is also working on paper which will be presented during HRMT workshop and HLG MOS workshop. | |
Ethical management (Data and Business) | IN PROGRESS | Task Team is working on Reference Book on Ethics making necessary revisions to 6 chapters. | |
Ethics Workshop 2024 (26-28 March 2024) | COMPLETED | ||
Workshop on HRMT OC | IN PROGRESS | Task Team is working on agenda and contributions. | |
AI for official statistics - communication perspective | IN PROGRESS | Task Team is working on paper on AI for communication of official statistics. | |
Supporting Standards
| Activity proposals for 2025 | IN PROGRESS | A number of possible activity ideas were discussed, including:
|
ModernStats World Workshop | IN PROGRESS |
| |
Revision of GSBPM and GAMSO activity | IN PROGRESS |
| |
SDMX-DDI-GSBPM activity | IN PROGRESS | Work as slowed down somewhat, but the output document is taking shape, and isn’t too far from completion. The next phase of work on GSIM in the context of DDI and SDMX will not start until the work on GSBPM is completed. | |
Common Statistical Data Architecture | ON HOLD | On hold until next year, for reasons previously mentioned (finding a chair) | |
Core Ontology for Official Statistics | ON HOLD | It has been decided not to start this work until the GSBPM revision is released (next year). |
