The Cambridge Algorithms and Complexity Workshop (CACW) is an annual event consisting of talks in theoretical computer science. The first CACW will take place on 15 April 2024 at the Department of Computer Science and Technology, University of Cambridge. We will have two distinguished international speakers: Gil Kalai (HUJI/Yale) and Avi Wigderson (IAS, Princeton), and four spectacular UK speakers: Artur Czumaj (Warwick), Heng Guo (Edinburgh), Mark Jerrum (QMUL), and Elias Koutsoupias (Oxford).

In this workshop, our primary goal is to reinvigorate collaboration between the approximation and computational geometry communities. We aim to delve deeper into understanding various popular clustering objectives, such as k-means, k-median, k-center, k-minsum, capacitated clustering, balanced clustering, correlation clustering, and k-diameter under the approximation lens. If interested in participating virtually, please register here: https://sites.google.com/view/clusteringinsandiego/

We are pleased to invite you to the 5th Learning Theory Alliance Mentorship workshop to be held on October 26-27, 2023 centered around communicating your research effectively. The workshop is free and fully virtual. The workshop is intended for upper-level undergraduate and all-level graduate students as well as postdoctoral researchers., and requires no prior research experience in the field. We have several planned events including:
– A “how-to” talk on how to communicate your research effectively through talks (discussing strategies on how to prepare talks addressed to a broad or specialized audience, or of varying length).
– A “discussion” that focuses on how to communicate your research effectively in conversations (such as elevator pitches, poster presentations, interviews). – A social hour with mentoring tables.

Our lineup includes: Sanjoy Dasgupta (UCSD), Maryam Fazel (UW), Daniel Hsu (Columbia University), Ashwin Pananjady (GeorgiaTech), Madeleine Udell (Stanford), Claire Vernade (University of Tuebingen).

A short application form: https://forms.gle/8aBvaG1hRsvzCQB16 is required to participate with an application deadline of Friday, October 20, 2023. Students with backgrounds that are underrepresented or underserved in related fields are especially encouraged to apply.

This is a revamping of a popular annual workshop, which ran until 2012. The idea is to gather the many theoreticians (faculty and students) who are within driving distance of Rochester (e.g., Buffalo, Ithaca, Pittsburgh, Rochester, Toronto, Waterloo, etc.) to see some great talks and to talk to each other.

Submission deadline: August 21, 2023

FOCS 2023 (held Nov 6 – 9 in Santa Cruz, CA) is calling for workshop proposals. The workshops provide an informal forum for researchers to discuss important research questions, directions and challenges in the field. Workshops often serve the important purpose of introducing researchers to new areas and agendas. We also encourage workshops that focus on connections between theoretical computer science and other areas. Please visit the FOCS 2023 homepage for more information. Submission deadline: August 21.
