DIMACS Workshop on Modern Techniques in Graph Algorithms

June 12-15, 2023
DIMACS, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ
https://sites.google.com/view/dimacswmtga

Registration deadline: June 4, 2023

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different areas of graph algorithms to share the techniques that have been recently influential in their area. The program will include a combination of tutorials, talks, open problem sessions, and collaboration time. Topics cover not only fast graph algorithms in the classical setting, but also algorithms in various computational models such as dynamic, streaming, sublinear, and distributed. We aim to foster an environment for cultivation of ideas and collaborations, leading to further advancements in the area.

Registration is free but required (deadline: June 4, 2023). There are limited funds for travel support (apply by May 14, 2023). Call for posters is out (submit by May 28, 2023).

Organizers: Prantar Ghosh, Zihan Tan, Nicole Wein (DIMACS)

Summer School on High-dimensional Expanders

Workshop on Algebraic Complexity Theory

March 27-31, 2023
University of Warwick, Coventry, UK
https://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~u2270030/wact

Algebraic Complexity Theory is a vibrant field that has been seeing a tremendous amount of activity in the recent years. Its classical questions have been interwoven with deep questions from algebraic geometry, invariant theory, and representation theory. Researchers study a wide range of interlinked topics: arithmetic circuit lower bounds, algorithmic algebra, algorithmic invariant theory, geometric complexity theory, tensor rank, polynomial identity testing, and polynomial reconstruction, to name a few. The workshop brings together experts from different parts of this rich field to discuss the current state of the art, discover new connections, and set the directions for the future.
