Rocco Servedio talking about nasty vs malicious noise at the EnCORE workshop on Meta Complexity as a bridge between Cryptography and Learning. ColumbiaCompSci UCSD CSE Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute

The next workshop on Theoretical Perspectives on LLM taking place at the EnCORE institute from March 3rd to March 5th. Join us.

And the next EnCORE Institute workshop will be on **Theoretical Perspectives on LLMs** sites.google.com/ucsd.edu/encor… We have a great lineup of participants - and an incredible set of talks. Registration link will be active soon

The registration link for EnCORE Institute Workshop on Theoretical Perspectives on LLMs is now open to all.

"We did something and it worked" is really an observation and research and scholarship starts at that point, aiming to prescribe what should we do next and predict what will happen as a result. The science of LLMs is probably one of the most intriguing area of this time for

I’ll be there on Monday! Speaking about RASP of course :) Looking forward to the program

Utterly enjoying the EnCORE Institute LLM workshop at UCSD. Incredible program so far.

Some pictures from the recently concluded workshop on Theoretical Perspectives on LLM. Videos will be posted soon.

Welcome to EnCORE Institute Damek

The preprint can be found here arxiv.org/abs/2503.00174 This continues a collaboration on transfer learning at EnCORE Institute; in the first installment we saw transfer learning in latent variable models of random graphs

In a humble and modest interview, my PhD student, Chris Ye, and my postdoc, Yinzhan Xu talk about their passion for research and academic journey. Their modesty is striking and something to learn from. Watch it! youtu.be/AVpximXPxEw?fe…

Congratulations to EnCORE faculty Raghu Meka for winning the McDowell Award!

High-schoolers are invading EnCORE Institute tomorrow. Looking forward to the cool-sounding talks by Shachar, Qipeng and Floor.

We are excited to host the fine-grained complexity workshop at the EnCORE institute with an excellent lineup of talks. It is still possible to attend the workshop virtually. encore.ucsd.edu/fine-grained-c…

Finds Advanced Program for high schoolers start this Monday. We are looking forward to welcome our new cohort. mathfinds.ucsd.edu

Fine-grained Complexity Workshop videos are online youtube.com/playlist?list=… via YouTube

It never ceases to amaze me how a simple "counting configuration" (also known as "information theoretic") lower bound is achievable by an algorithm. The former sometime is so trivial for combinatorial problems, that I would assume them to be not tight at all. Here is an example

To appear in COLT 2025; this work is done by amazing EnCORE Institute postdocs Hadley Black and Yinzhan Xu, and Barna Saha. The paper can be found here: arxiv.org/abs/2506.08405

This year TCS for All Inspiration talk will be given by Sofya Raskhodnikova, Boston University on June 27th at our STOC 2025 TCS for All Meeting. Join us. SIGACT.org/tcsforall/ Virginia V. Williams #stoc2025

The EnCORE institute at UCSD is offering an Algorithms summer camp for students who need to brush up their algorithms foundation. This will be particularly useful for transfer students transitioning to a 4-year college. The course is free but requires registration. More info in
