We uploaded a new version with links to Omer Reingold's "Research Life Stories", to Luca Trevisan's series of posts about gay and lesbian computer scientists, and so on. Check out the updated version: eatcs.org/images/bulle... The links are also in the comment below. Happy reading!

We have a call for contributions. Check out the text post on the channel for details.

Alongside the new bulletin, is the first video on the new EATCS Youtube channel! We learn about different ways to record your seminar talks.

The new EATCS Bulletin #147 is available! eatcs.org/images/bulle... In the TCS on the Web Column, I talked to the maintainers of the TCS Blog Aggregator: Nima Anari, Arnab Bhattacharyya and Gautam Kamath. It was a very fun interview! @gautamkamath.com @schmiste-ch.bsky.social

My lab is looking for a Senior Scientist (= PostDoc with option of permanency)! We are looking for someone interested in doing cutting-edge computational social science + helping us with data & software engineering 🤓. See job ad for details jobs.uni-graz.at/en/jobs/7d14...

The simplex algorithm is super efficient. 80 years of experience says it runs in linear time. Nobody can explain _why_ it is so fast. We invented a new algorithm analysis framework to find out.

The debate over “LLMs as annotators” feels familiar: excitement, backlash, and anxiety about bad science. My take in a new blogpost is that LLMs don’t break measurement; they expose how fragile it already was. doomscrollingbabel.manoel.xyz/p/labeling-d...

STOC'26 will provide an *optional* pre-submission feedback based on Gemini. The model is optimized for checking mathematical rigor. Looks interesting. They also post example outputs and comments on them. Announcement: acm-stoc.org/stoc2026/sto... Example reviews: www.cs.cmu.edu/~dwoodruf/st...

We will be rebooting the EATCS Youtube channel soon. Subscribe now to get in on the ground floor!

Such a strong growth in submissions over the past few years (probably because of LLMs?). 38% more than two years ago. Wow. An acceptance rate of less than 10% is really tough. Good luck to everyone who submitted!

I was just briefly scrolling over the latest ACM Career News newsletter and I find it quite funny that it contains a picture of the German Federal Minister of Defense, Boris Pistorius.

Also, if you are a reviewer for a paper with 3 weak accepts: Consider becoming the champion. IMO often these are very solid papers. If no reviewer has objections, why not just accept it (esp. at large ML conference)? Makes the authors happy & there is one less resubmission in the peer review system

Happy Birthday Google For many of your 27 years you were called a lazy vice. Finally you have attained the status of a thoughtful virtue of the good old days. 🥂 🥳

A foretold, the new season of TCS+ is coming! If you cannot wait for the official announcement,* you can already sign up to attend the first talk on October 8, by Janani Sundaresan, from U Waterloo (@uwcheritoncs.bsky.social)! www.tcsplus.org/welcome/next... * Soon on an Internet near you!

Gurobi published their 2025 State of Mathematical Optimization report. Always a nice read! www.gurobi.com/resources/re...

If you work on theory in responsible computing and are looking for a job, fill out this form before September 28! Responsible computing includes private data analysis, fairness, robustness, mathematical approaches bridging computer science, law, ethics, etc. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

A very nice summary by Stefan of our recent publication "Optirefine: densest subgraphs and maximum cuts with k refinements". With @stefanresearch.bsky.social, Aleksa Stankovic, and @aris-gionis.bsky.social

Suppose you are given a non-optimal solution to an algorithmic problem and you want to make a small number of changes to improve its objective function. We give nearly-optimal approximation algorithms for this problem for Max-Cut and for Densest Subgraph. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

With September (already!) underway, the next season of TCS+ will start soon. As we are planning for it, a reminder that you can—and are encouraged to!—submit suggestions for talks and speakers on our website: sites.google.com/view/tcsplus...

By now it's just too much information (reviews, rebuttal back-and-forth, final reviewer justification, final author remark). On average, for each paper I'm reviewing there is a discussion of ~10 pages. It's almost impossible to keep track of everything.

The course “Fundamentals of Digital Systems” that I am co-teaching has been nominated for the Best Lecture Award at TU Wien (among the best 9 courses of the entire university!). This is a great honor and I am so grateful to our students for nominating our course. www.tuwien.at/tu-wien/aktu...

Does anyone know studies of how FB/X/threads/etc downrank (or don't) external links? According to Adam Mosseri in 11/2024, threads then didn't explicitly downrank links, but notes threads prioritizes like/comments, not clicks, and says people simply don't like/comment much on posts with links.

One thing that is conspicuously missing at STOC 2025 is everything related to the modern generative AI revolution, LLMs, chatbots, etc. Most of the talks are such that it's hard to say if it's year 2020 or 2025. Where is all the work along the lines of "AI for TCS" and "TCS for AI" happening?

📢 We're hiring a #PhD student at @tuwien.at for a project on Knowledge-Graph driven Factuality and Explainability in LLMs for conversational data analytics. 🌍 Funded by #MSCA #ARMADA_DN 📅 Apply by June 30, 2025 🔗 lnkd.in/dX2ZWtj8 #LLM #KnowledgeGraphs #Factuality #DataAnalytics
