I wrote a post on how to connect with people (i.e., make friends) at CS conferences. These events can be intimidating so here's some suggestions on how to navigate them
I'm late for #ICLR2025#NAACL2025, but just in time for #AISTATS2025 and timely for #ICML2025 acceptances! 1/4
We are launching an 𝐮𝐧𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 and experimental online parallel event for the conference ITCS25, aimed at everyone who cannot attend the conference in person for whatever reasons. (1/2)

Unbreakable decomposition is a powerful graph decomposition in parameterized algorithms.
But it is slow.
Here, we give the first algorithm that constructs this decomposition in close-to-linear time. Yay!

Let me explain some nice connections below.

A classical push-relabel algorithm can compute max flow in almost optimal time in dense graphs :)
Just specify how frequently the algorithm is allowed to "touch" each edge. It's also conceptually simple to compute the frequency of each edge (u,v).

Here is a new hypothesis about "static" problems that explains the hardness of tons of "dynamic" data structure problems (including the OMv conjecture) https://t.co/YpkVARgPJh
A very cool work by Karl Bringmann, Allan Gronlund, Marvin Kuennermann, Kasper Green Larsen.
Here is a tutorial on using differential privacy and adaptive data analysis to make dynamic data structures work against an adaptive adversary.
I really like this connection and hope to learn more about this.

Lijie Chen, Shuichi Hirahara and Hanlin Ren show that the second level of the exponential-time hierarchy requires exponential-size circuits.

It's nearly October. If you need letters of recommendation for something this calendar year, you should be asking about now.
That, and more details in my blog post: "How to Ask for a Letter of Recommendation"

I gave a short talk on recent advances in vertex connectivity algorithms at Simons Institute (link: https://t.co/cACsyiSi0k), summarizing the recent results in the field in 15 minutes.
