At the Department of Computer Science and Automation (CSA) at IISc, we host bi-weekly seminars that are held with the support of the Walmart Center. Over a hundred presentations by distinguished researchers from across the globe have been organized under the auspices of this initiative. The seminar series has recently garnered backing from the Walmart Center, strengthening our platform for academic discourse and knowledge exchange.

Reinforcement learning (RL) represents a powerful paradigm in artificial intelligence that simulates a learning process akin to natural ways of acquiring knowledge, where agents become competent by interacting with an environment to achieve a goal. In this workshop, we bring together some of the world-leading academicians and industry practitioners to delve into the intricacies and hurdles currently faced by this discipline. We aim to forge pathways that will shape the future of RL, driving forward innovations that promise to transform a multitude of sectors by making systems more adaptive, intelligent, and efficient.

Computing systems (e.g., mobile phones, desktops, laptops) are integrated parts of our lives nowadays. While we want our computing systems to be cheap, we also want them to be fast and energy efficient. Moreover, we also want our computing systems to be safe and secure so that we can use them without risking our privacy. Several new applications have emerged recently that are being extensively executed on different computing systems. Specifically, the emergence of machine learning applications (e.g., deep neural networks, ChatGPT) has called for more efficient and more secure computing systems than ever before. In this workshop, several scholars with extensive research experience in the domain of computing systems will talk about various aspects of present computing systems as well as how future computing systems will look like. Attendees will get a unique opportunity to interact with professionals from leading industries as well as academia in this domain. Moreover, a handful of research scholars from across the country will present posters showcasing their research work.

The goal of this lecture series is to take a deep dive into topics at the interface of modern algorithms and machine learning. Our focus will be on recent advances and challenging open problems in these areas. Delivered by leading experts, the lectures will cover relevant background and thoroughly cover technical details.

Welcome to our Winter School on Theoretical Computer Science, an enriching opportunity designed for senior undergraduate students eager to deepen their understanding of CS Theory. We’re excited to offer a series of in-depth lectures on cutting-edge topics such as matching theory and differential privacy. In addition to these core areas, our diverse lineup of miscellaneous talks will provide a broad perspective on emerging trends and foundational concepts in theoretical computer science. Join us for an immersive educational experience that will challenge your intellect, expand your knowledge, and connect you with peers and experts who share your passion for the field.

The workshop will bring together researchers interested in Computational Geometry and Approximation Algorithms. A focus of the workshop will be on Geometric Approximation Algorithms. Preeminent computer scientists and mathematicians working on Geometric Approximations will present recent advances in the field, propose central open problems, and exchange ideas in inclusive discussion meetings.

We plan to use this opportunity to ignite the imagination and broaden the horizons of students interested in algorithms and geometry. The workshop will also address application settings, such as drone & robot motion planning, geometric packing, nearest neighbor search and clustering.

The trends in globalization have dramatically changed in the last few years. Many Fortune 500 companies are eager to enter developing countries and are dependent on finding the right partners in those countries. On the other hand, many developing countries now have home-grown technologies that have leapfrogged the developed countries in areas such as payments solutions, ed-tech platforms, health delivery, and supply chain logistics. Join us to explore how Emerging world AI will shape healthcare, finance, supply chains, and climate science in the coming decades. As we approach 2050, when over 60% of global GDP is projected to come from current emerging markets, this event offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of AI in these rapidly evolving economies.
