Hire Natalie right now! She's amazing

Congrats to @epsilonrational.bsky.social @ncollina.bsky.social @aaroth.bsky.social on being featured in quanta! (Also do check out the paper, also involving Sampath Kannan and me that the piece is based on here: arxiv.org/abs/2409.03956)

Hi everyone, The TOC4Fairness seminar series are restarted! Our next speaker, this *Monday* October 20th (1pm est, 10am est) is Lalitha Sankar from ASU. More info about her talk here! toc4fairness.org/toc4fairness... If you need the zoom link/mailing list access, please DM me

Hello, this is now accepted at Neurips 2025! Come check out our poster in December :)

Can't recommend the Allerton conference at UIUC enough! Went for the first time this year and really enjoyed the smaller scale, being able to talk to so many great researchers, the community, and the great talks! Definitely got quite a bit out of that and a million new ideas

New differential #privacy textbook in town: "DP in Artificial Intelligence: From Theory to Practice", by @nandofioretto.bsky.social and @vanhentenryck.bsky.social. Open access, w/ chapters by @jubaz.bsky.social, @grahamrc.bsky.social, and @stein.ke! www.nowpublishers.com/article/Book...

Check out our @let-all.com blog post on strategic classification and around recent work with Valia and @charapod.bsky.social!

Excited to announce that I just got another NSF grant this week! This collaborative with Prof. Augustin Chaintreau at Columbia University. More info here: www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/...

Pretty stoked to announce that I won't be presenting my paper at #FOCS2025: but one of my talented coauthors will have to come here 🌏 to do so! "Instance-Optimal Uniformity Testing and Tracking," with Guy Blanc (Stanford) and Erik Waingarten (UPenn). (arXiv coming soon!)

1/8 Happy to share that our paper GLoSS: Generative Language Models with Semantic Search for Sequential Recommendation is accepted at the KDD OARS workshop! 🎉 Paper, code: github.com/krishnachary... This is joint work with my wonderful collaborators @apetrov.bsky.social and @jubaz.bsky.social !

THREAD: Under a new law, thousands of prisoners in Louisiana have been cut off from ever getting a chance at parole. Why? Because an algorithm said so. 1/

Hello, I'm off Twitter forever! This is the main place to find me now :)

Hi everyone! First, wanted to let you all know that the amazing @charapod.bsky.social is on Bluesky! Please make sure to follow her :) Second, she wrote a really cool survey about the state of strategic classification that you should definitely read: www.sigecom.org/exchanges/vo...

A last work I wanted to talk about (I promise I will stop spamming after this) with my student Diptangshu Sen and collaborator Ben Fish is here: www.arxiv.org/abs/2502.07792

Now, onto a different one! Some recent cool work with Guanghui Wang, Krishna Acharya, Lokranjan Lakshmikanthan and Vidya Muthukumar. This one is about performative prediction/online strategic settings!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say a few words on strategic classification with Valia Efthymiou, Chara Podimata, and Diptansghu Sen! See paper on arxiv here: arxiv.org/abs/2502.06749

Whoa, was half-listening to a @thedailyshow.com segment with @linamkhan.bsky.social and suddenly heard talk of Algorithmic Collusion! (11 min in) Way to go, people researching this! @jasonhartline.bsky.social @aaroth.bsky.social @jubaz.bsky.social @ncollina.bsky.social @yannaigonch.bsky.social

Georgia tech friends: this will be a cool workshop with a stellar line-up of speakers, please stop by :)

hate to say told you so

On the TCS job market: Tamalika Mukherjee! Tamalika's research: (1) designing computationally efficient privacy-preserving algorithms for data analysis, (2) understanding their societal implications through the lens of equity and policy. Keywords: sublinear, DP 1/2 #TCSSky #AcademicJobMarket

Divyarthi Mohan (divyarthi.bsky.social) is currently a postdoc at Boston University, and is looking for faculty research positions and industry positions. For more on her and her research: www.divyarthimohan.com 2/2

It's tough to gain visibility as a young researcher, and it's job market season! Are you a theoretical computer science PhD/postdoc on the job market? I don't have a crazy juge audience but I'll try to help a bit: fill this form, and I'll tweet your pitch and info! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Just put together a starter pack for Deep Learning Theory. Let me know if you'd like to be included or suggest someone to add to the list! go.bsky.app/2qnppia

Our Econometrica paper on "Ambiguous Contracts" is finally out! 🎉 www.econometricsociety.org/publications... Huge thanks to Paul Duetting, Daniel Peretz, and Larry Samuelson for the fun and inspiring collaboration 🙏

Getting some pushback. Right now, reviewing is an activity we do not even prioritize. We force people to do it, with no ~0 repercussions for doing a crappy job. No one gets tenure by reviewing well, or spending their time shooting down junk. Once we fix _that_, we will get useful peer review.

Things you need as a PhD student: - coffee ☕ - a living stipend 💰 - a website 🔗 For the last one, @kiragoldner.bsky.social has good resources: www.kiragoldner.com/blog/website..., www.kiragoldner.com/resources.html

This looks like an amazing opportunity, and @mkgerchick.bsky.social is a dream to work with. Worth applying if you're on the job market. www.aclu.org/careers/appl...

Hidden gems in OR and MS: When I was a PhD student at the OR Center at MIT, the students ran a software tools course every winter, introducing tools like Git and Julia/JuMP. I shared this with my PhD student, so 2024 version (it gets updated each year): github.com/angkoulouras...

Too many times as a reviewer and as an AC have I had to deal with this. Your job is not just to handle your own review/response. You need to interact with other reviewers to come to a decision. In particular, if your review disagrees with everyone else, the burden is *on you* to engage.

"92 million low-income people in the U.S. states—everyone whose income is less than 200 percent of the federal poverty line—have some basic aspect of their lives decided by AI" www.techtonicjustice.org/reports/ines... this is a damning report

By the way, did I mention that next year's IEEE Information Theory Workshop, ITW'25, will be in Sydney? I did not? Well, it'll be in Sydney! (I'm TPC co-chair, along with Ángela Capel Cuevas and Yingbin Liang) www.ieee-itw2025.org

We are very excited to announce that the 2025 INFORMS Computing Society (ICS) Conference will take place March 14-16, 2025, in Toronto: sites.google.com/view/ics-2025 Submissions for contributed talks are due on December 23. We invite talks that showcase the dynamic interface of CS, AI & #ORMS.

I wrote a Part IV postscript to my job market blog post to add what I've learned as faculty. TL;DR: No one is out to get you. For anything not going your way, it's probably due to people being busy or bureaucracy. And there are probably people working very hard for you behind the scenes regardless.

howdy! the Georgetown Law Journal has published "Less Discriminatory Algorithms." it's been very fun to work on this w/ Emily Black, Pauline Kim, Solon Barocas, and Ming Hsu. i hope you give it a read — the article is just the beginning of this line of work. www.law.georgetown.edu/georgetown-l...

Hi everyone! Check out the below if you work on the foundations of responsible computing and are on the market this year (or have a student who is)!

Hi everyone! Please check out the list that @gkatzelis.bsky.social had been painstakingly compiling for I don't even know how many years now, but many. Great resource for cs-econ faculty candidates!

Welcome to my timeline. I'm the Florida scientist who was fired for refusing to post misleasing data during COVID: web.archive.org/web/20221110... I founded the only national database for tracking COVID in k-12 schools: www.thedailybeast.com/rebekah-jone...

Periodic reminder: submitting on #arXiv is great! But the source is available: good per se, but remember to remove LaTeX comments you don't want to be made public. Thankfully, there are tools that do that (and more) easily and automatically for you! E.g., arXiv-collector: github.com/djsutherland...

We look forward to your excellent submissions and engaging discussions at PPAI-25! with @jubaz.bsky.social, Jeremy Seeman, and Wanrong Zhang

Going to advertise this here too, but we have a new book on differential privacy led by Nando Fioretto and Pascal Van Hentenryck! I was asked to contribute to the first, intro chapter, available here: arxiv.org/abs/2411.04710 Full book available soon!

This is a really cool paper and I want to give full credit to @ncollina.bsky.social and Eshwar Ram Arunachaleswaran for pushing this. They're both incredible and the main reason this paper is even a thing!

Seems like this has much less noise/bots than Twitter...

Hello world?
