JAVOKHIR SINDAROV WINS THE CANDIDATES WITH A ROUND TO SPARE! The 20-year-old makes history with a dominant, unbeaten (so far) Candidates run, and will challenge Gukesh in the youngest-ever World Championship match this year! 🇺🇿👑

Arrived to New Brunswick. Yihua Xu will present our work (arxiv.org/abs/2505.22999) at WINE 2025. And in a funny bit of timing, our paper (kerimovsuleyman.github.io/poweroftwoAKTZ…), whose preliminary version I presented at WINE 2019, was just accepted at Management Science. Time flies?

This is a great piece with some mind-boggling statistics. - At Brown and Harvard, more than 20% of undergraduates are registered as disabled - At Amherst: more than 30 percent - At Stanford: nearly 40 percent Soon, many of these schools "may have more students receiving [disability] accommodations than not, a scenario that would have seemed absurd just a decade ago." As students and their parents have recognized the benefits of claiming disability—extended time on tests, housing accommodations, etc—the rates of disability at colleges, and especially at elite colleges, has exploded. America used to stigmatize disability too severely. Now elite institutions reward it too liberally. It simply does not make any sense to have a policy that declares half of the students at Stanford cognitively disabled and in need of accommodations.

Here is a revised version of our paper on online selection. We incorporated partial recovery into the model and extended our results to alternative objectives, including maximizing the largest selected value instead of the sum of selected values. arxiv.org/pdf/2505.22999

Our new working paper on online selection with Sebastian Perez-Salazar and Yihua Xu is online. We study how to serve incoming requests, where committing to a request may cause a disruption that halts the remaining process. We provide threshold-based competitive algorithms with tight guarantees and reveal connections to the single-selection prophet inequality problem. arxiv.org/abs/2505.22999

Today's email from our Provost @adittmar makes it official. I am now an unqualified professor (shamelessly ripping off @Aaroth 's tweet). Thank you to my wonderful advisors (only @jeffely on Twitter, but also Ricky, Nabil and Eddie) who somehow granted me a PhD,
