The submission deadline for European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA) is one month away. In addition to papers on algorithms theory and algorithm engineering, ESA again solicits papers with a focus on simplicity. The CFP is out! algo-conference.org/2024/esa/

The highly-regarded magazine "Foreign Affairs" released an article concerning the ongoing discussions to deploy Western troops in Ukraine. It is titled: Europe - but not NATO - should send troops to Ukraine It is quite logically outlining why it is time to not only protect

PS: Jako ministr pro vědu, výzkum a inovace se musím držet faktů, pravdy a nazývat věci pravými jmény. Proto i nadále budu říkat, že Putin je zločinec a vrah, který vede nelegální a krutou válku proti Ukrajině.

Another student makes a significant contribution to streaming! Yichuan Wang, visiting undergrad from Tsinghua, proves a lower bound on approx counting implying optimality of both Misra-Gries (aka "Frequent") from 1982, + the recent quantiles algo. arxiv.org/abs/2406.12149 1/

“mathematical breakthroughs are not powered solely (or even primarily) by ‘Eureka’ moments of genius, but are in fact largely a product of hard work” —Terry Tao terrytao.wordpress.com/career-advice/…

A **3-Year Postdoctoral Position in Complexity Theory** is available at Warwick. This is an excellent opportunity to join one of the most active theory groups in the UK. More info is available here: dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~igorcarb/posi… Please spread the word about it!

A group of researchers have found an even better version of an algorithm that can tell you how to get from Point A to Point B in the most efficient way possible. quantamagazine.org/computer-scien…

FroM Superstring to Indexing: a space-efficient index for unconstrained k-mer sets using the Masked Burrows-Wheeler Transform (MBWT) biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_bioinfo

A new paper from our amazing Ondřej Sladký (jointly supervised with Pavel Veselý) on super space-efficient indexing of arbitrary k-mer sets, introducing the Masked Burrows-Wheeler Transform (MBWT).

The next symposium of experimental algorithms (SEA'25) is going to be in Venice 😎 Amazing invited speakers: Sebastiano Vigna, Daniel Lemire, and Giulia Bernardini! + workshop on compressed self-indexes, featuring Roberto Grossi and Giovanni Manzini! regindex.github.io/sea2025.github…

Here is my strategy for attempting well-known open problems in math. Solving the unsolved isn’t just about outgunning the brilliant people who tried before you—it’s about strategy.

Czechia scored big in European Research Council (ERC) #CoG competition. 10 grants! I am more happy than if would get one myself😍 This is first about the #excellence of the people writing & defending the grants. Their success was facilitated by #ZdenekStrakos #ERCExpertGroup. Change is possible!

🧵There are five illusions about Ukraine that lead to flawed “peace” plans that are doomed to fail. I have listed the illusions here in the hope that reality-based discussions can soon become the norm.👇 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣5️⃣

So many were freaking out regarding Trump's statements in reference to Ukraine and it is true that many of those statements were rubbish and even factually outright wrong. The Kremlin and its lesser minions have predictably been already running victory laps, but we have seen this

Po třech letech ruské agrese vůči Ukrajině ve společnosti stále více pociťujeme únavu z války. Je to pochopitelné. Přesto právě teď, kdy se možná blíží cílová rovinka v podobě mírových jednání, nesmíme polevit a ubrat nohu z plynu v naší podpoře napadené země. Právě v těchto

The time has come to start considering a broad coalition of willing for just peace in Ukraine. “Peace” on terms of the aggressor is called a capitulation and would only encourage all current and future aggressors. Free world must stand up to the evil.

Francouzský vědec, který cestoval na jednu z největších planetologických konferencí, byl na hranicích z USA nevpuštěn do země. Proč? Protože měl na mobilu komunikaci kritickou k tamějšímu prezidentovi. Včera mi psal známý ze Švédska... 1/3 theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m…

Někdo přišel kvůli vedení své zločinné fašistické země o možnost reprezentovat. A na druhé straně statisíce ukrajinských rodičů přišli v ruské imperialistické válce o své děti a statisíce 🇺🇦dětí o své rodiče. Za mě neporovnatelné. V každém případě nemožnost ruských hokejistů (a
