The 2020 Junior Theorists Workshop is part of the Northwestern CS Quarterly Theory Workshop Series. The focus of this workshop will be on showcasing junior researchers in all areas of theoretical computer science. The event will be held online from December 17 to 18 (Thursday to Friday), roughly from 10am to 5pm central time.
This year we have 14 excellent speakers, each delivering a 30 minutes talk. After each hour-long session, there will be an informal poster session intended for Q&A discussion on gather.town. Full details are available on the workshop homepage.
Interested participants *must* register via the link on the workshop homepage and we will send the gather.town link before the event.

There will be a Special Quarter on Theory of Deep Learning this Fall as a part of IDEAL – The Institute for Data, Econometrics, Algorithms, and Learning, runs jointly with TTIC and the University of Chicago.
The Special Quarter will be entirely online, and take place inside a virtual space on the gather.town platform. All talks, discussions, meetings and other interactions will be inside this virtual space. To register for the special quarter, please complete the registration form below.

We are happy to announce a Virtual Telluride Neuromorphic Cognition Engineering Workshop 2020 (https://tellurideneuromorphic.org/) this year in replacement of our usual Workshop in Telluride. The workshop will take place from July 27 to July 31 (8am to 10am PDT, or 17:00 to 19:00 CET).
The format will be a week of lectures and tutorials on current topics in neuromorphic engineering (two hours per day) followed by four hands-on, collaborative challenges which will be carried out in the month of August. The results of the challenges will be presented on September 10 and 11, 2020.
The workshop is free to attend and is open to everyone upon registration.

ICONS 2020 will be held as a virtual conference. The goal of this conference is to bring together leading researchers in neuromorphic computing to present new research, develop new collaborations, and provide a forum to publish work in this area. Our focus will be on architectures, models, and applications of neuromorphic systems.

The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from multiple disciplines, ranging from physical to biological sciences, to discuss the most promising approaches and overarching goals of neuromorphic computing technologies and paradigms that have the potential to drastically improve conventional approaches. The neuromorphic computing workshop aims to establish a forum to discuss current practices; future research needs; and new principles and tradeoffs across the entire neuromorphic information processing stack with the goal to apply them holistically to future machine learning systems.

https://www.ideal.northwestern.edu/events/workshop-computational-vs-statistical-tradeoffs-in-network-inference/
Network models have been used as a tool to understand the role of interconnections between entities in multiple research areas like sociology, biology, meteorology, economics, and computer science. Moreover emerging technological developments allow collecting data on increasingly larger networks. This leads to both computational and statistical challenges when inferring or learning the structure of such networks. This workshop will cover some of the advances in the last decade on understanding trade-offs between statistical and computational efficiency for many inference problems on large networks. The workshop speakers are Andrea Montanari, Ankur Moitra, and Liza Levina. There will be short talks from 11am-3:15pm CT and a panel discussion 3:25-4pm CT. Participants can register to join on Zoom (see link for details), or watch the live stream.

The Logic Mentoring Workshop (LMW) will introduce young
researchers to the technical and practical aspects of a career in logic research. It is targeted at students, from senior undergraduates to graduates, and will include talks and a panel session from leaders in the subject.

Symposium on Simplicity in Algorithms is a conference in theoretical computer science dedicated to advancing algorithms research by promoting simplicity and elegance in the design and analysis of algorithms. The benefits of simplicity are manifold: simpler algorithms manifest a better understanding of the problem at hand; they are more likely to be implemented and trusted by practitioners; they can serve as benchmarks, as an initialization step, or as the basis for a “state of the art” algorithm; they are more easily taught and are more likely to be included in algorithms textbooks; and they attract a broader set of researchers to difficult algorithmic problems.

Many important dynamic processes are determined by an underlying network structure. Examples include the spread of epidemics, the dynamics of public opinions, the diffusion of information about social programs, and biological processes such as neural spike trains. Data about these processes is becoming increasingly available which has lead to a number of different research communities to tackle related questions independently. What is the source of a rumor? Will a given disease spread widely? Who is the key player? This workshop will cover some new tools being developed to address such questions. The workshop speakers are Devavrat Shah, Lori Beaman, Rebecca Willet, and Arun Chandrasekhar. There will be short talks from 11am-3pm Central and a panel discussion 4-5pm. Participants can register to join on Zoom (see link for details), or stream the video on Panopto.
