Theory Defense Triple Header, Tuesday, 05/10
David Kempe
next Tuesday (05/10), you'll have a chance to get a huge dose of
theory talks all in one sitting. All three of my wonderful PhD
students will be defending their theses, with titles given below
(and abstracts available at the link at the end of this mail).
This triple header will be followed by a celebration/reception, to
which you all are very much invited. However, to ensure that we order
the right amount of food and drink, it would be great if you could let
me know whether you are planning to be at the reception.
8:30am, Room KAP 148:
Abhimanyu Das:
Subset Selection Algorithms for Prediction
1:30pm, Room SSL 150:
Mahyar Salek:
Computational and Economic Aspects of Procurement and Sale
3:30pm, Room SSL 150:

More information (such as abstracts) is available at
