Submission deadline: August 12, 2024
Registration deadline: August 15, 2024

The workshop will focus on both the fundamental aspects of designing learning-augmented algorithms (also known as algorithms with predictions), as well as its applications in areas such as approximation algorithms, data structure, graph algorithms, randomized numerical linear algebra, online algorithms, streaming and sketching algorithms, and supervised and unsupervised learning. The invited participants span a diverse set of research areas from both academia and industry, including theoretical computer science, machine learning, and operations research.

*Call for Poster and Lightning Talk presentation*: We will be holding sessions for poster and lightning talks. If you are interested in presenting a poster or giving a lightning talk, please indicate your interest and preference in the registration form. While we aim to accommodate all submissions, we may have to limit the number of presentations due to time and space constraints.

https://sites.google.com/view/sydney-tcs-summerschool2024/home

Registration deadline: September 2, 2024

The week before ISAAC’24, on Dec 3-6 , Australian researchers are organizing a 4-day Summer (south hemisphere) School on “Recent Trends in Algorithms” in Sydney, with one day dedicated to each of Algorithmic Fairness, Quantum Computing, Data Structures, and Privacy. Participation to the summer school is free (though registration is mandatory: register by November 5).

Thanks to the ACM SIGACT, Google Research, and the School of CS at U Sydney, we have some travel funding to cover accommodation for a number undergrad and grad students (apply by September 2).

Fulkerson 100, University of Waterloo

July 17-19, 2024
University of Waterloo, Waterloo, CANADA
https://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~fulkerson100/

Submission deadline: June 21, 2024

We welcome you to join us for a 3-day research workshop, Fulkerson 100 (https://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~fulkerson100/), hosted by the Dept. of Combinatorics & Optimization (C&O) at the University of Waterloo from July 17-19, 2024, in honor of Ray Fulkerson’s centenary year of birth. Fulkerson was one of the leading figures in combinatorial optimization, and his seminal work has had a profound and lasting impact in shaping the fields of combinatorial optimization and Operations Research. (This is the Wed-Fri of the week right before ISMP 2024 in Montreal.)
The workshop will feature invited talks (https://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~fulkerson100/invited.html) by distinguished researchers in the areas of graph theory, combinatorics, optimization, and theoretical computer science (TCS). It will also feature lightning talks and a poster session to showcase research by students and postdocs. We hope to bring together a wide variety of researchers in discrete mathematics, while (implicitly) commemorating Fulkerson’s vision and contributions.
The link for registration is here: https://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~fulkerson100/registration.html.
As part of registration, students and postdocs can indicate whether they would like to present a lightning talk and poster at the event. (There is some limited funding to help support the participation of students and postdocs who are in need.)

Frontiers in Complexity Theory: A Graduate Workshop

July 29 – August 1, 2024
DIMACS Center, Rutgers University, CoRE Building, 96 Frelinghuysen Road Piscataway, NJ 08854 http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/events/details?eID=2785

Submission deadline: May 19, 2024
Registration deadline: May 19, 2024

This summer DIMACS will hold an advanced workshop for graduate students in complexity theory! Our goal is to bring together up-and-coming complexity researchers and to introduce students to some recent exciting lines of research in the field.

Workshop attendance does not require specific prior knowledge, beyond interest in complexity theory and mathematical maturity. In particular, the workshop is also open to strong students working in other areas of theoretical computer science who are interested in learning more about recent complexity research. Strong undergraduate students may also be considered.

Applied Algorithms for Machine Learning: A Workshop on Future of Computation

June 10-12, 2024
Paris, France
https://aaforml.com

In this workshop, we present a series of talks on the intersection between applied algorithms and machine learning, two indispensable areas of future computation. We will cover a range of specific topics, including randomized and approximation algorithms; large-scale machine learning; distributed and federated learning; learning-augmented algorithms; algorithms for fairness and differential privacy; sketching algorithms; and adversarially robust learning. The workshop aims to bring together researchers from both fields to foster collaboration and exchange ideas.
