The early registration deadline for #FOCS2024 is TODAY (Sept 30 2024)! See focs.computer.org/2024/ for details. And see you in Chicago Oct 27-30!!

If you're in Chicago next week, check out our 9/27 workshop on Theoretical Foundations of Human-AI Complementarity @northwesterncs tinyurl.com/idealhcai Featuring @HsseinMzannar @jannspiess @keyonV Ming Yin Part of @IDEAL_chicago's Interpretability, Privacy & Fairness program

Submit papers to the Algorithmic Decision Theory conference held @DIMACSCenter in Oct! preflib.github.io/adt2024/ The Abstract-Only option does not preclude later publication - e.g., you can send your NeurIPS paper abstract to ADT days later! Invited speakers include @jennwvaughan

Professor @samirkhuller and @northwesterncs students are spending spring break visiting and networking with San Francisco and Bay Area companies. Thank you for your generous hospitality, @AveryChing and @AptosLabs!

If you are a PhD student in the Chicago area, definitely take advantage of all the great PhD courses offered by faculty of @IDEAL_chicago -- you can most likely take them for credit or audit! ideal-institute.org/2024/03/04/win… Also, check my course BUSN 36922 to "Learn Online Learning"!

I'm super interested in how algorithms can be regulated from their data. At #CSLAW2024 next week in Boston, we will present "Regulation of Algorithmic Collusion". Tl;dr: Good algorithms satisfy "calibrated best response"; they can't collude; and it can be checked from data.

At the #CSLAW2024 conference, @liren_shan presented our joint work on "Error-tolerant Classification Protocols", with @JinshuoD and Aravindan Vijayaraghavan. It develops e-discovery protocols that are efficient, accountable, and minimally disclosive. arxiv.org/abs/2401.17952

Thanks to @NatashaDevroye for organizing this very nice event at @IDEAL_chicago: mccormick.northwestern.edu/computer-scien…. It is gratifying to see all the activity #IDEAL is bringing to the Chicago area and to have faculty across UIC, NU, TTIC, IIT, and UC now regularly meeting up in person.

Eighty members of the @IDEAL_chicago community recently gathered for an annual meeting to learn about upcoming educational and outreach events and initiatives, showcase multi-disciplinary research, and forge new connections. bit.ly/44iz6bd
