HotNets has asked that we let people know that the 2021 presentations are available here. I'm using that an excuse to highlight our paper on Zero-CPU Collection...Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | November 4, 2021 at 09:01 AM
In this post, we'll look at the natural problem of how to communicate an estimate of a real value in [0,1], using just 1 bit. The post is based on this paper (by...Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | October 25, 2021 at 11:00 AM
The last couple of years one aspect of research I've greatly enjoyed is getting back into networking, which is really due to my excellent (and patient) collaborators...Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | October 20, 2021 at 02:13 PM
I was looking at today's Harvard Crimson, and noted that Harvard's shopping period looks ready to be vanished again. Shopping period is that wonderful Harvardsomething...Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | September 4, 2021 at 04:55 PM
I have had papers rejected, with comments of the form that the results seem too easy, and are at the level of a homework assignment. Generally, I think these reviewers...Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | August 9, 2021 at 04:58 PM
We're having an online workshop on "Machine Learning for Algorithms" on July 13-14, with a great group of speakers. Announcement below, link at https://fodsi.us...Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | June 8, 2021 at 03:04 PM
I wanted to give a pointer to a new preprint up on bioRxiv on developing diagnostic assays for viruses, by (first author) Hayden Metsky (and others!) out of the...Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | November 29, 2020 at 10:25 PM
I wanted to link to a survey that is up entitled Committee on TCS Connections Questionnaire. They are examining modifying approaches to publishing in the theoretical...Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | November 26, 2020 at 10:46 AM
I have a loose association with the Broad Institute, an institute created so that "complementary expertise of the genomic scientists and the chemical biologists...Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | September 2, 2020 at 08:32 PM
The STOC workshop on Algorithms with Predictions was on Friday, and I thought it went really well! I can't speak for my talk, but the other 3 talks (Tim Roughgarden...Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | June 27, 2020 at 02:06 PM
This post both relates to some of the stuff I'll be presenting at Friday's STOC workshop on Algorithms with Predictions, but is also for future students in my classes...Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | June 25, 2020 at 01:35 PM
There's a whole new, interesting theory trend -- Algorithms with Predictions. The idea, spurred by advances in machine learning, is that you assume you have predictor...Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | June 17, 2020 at 01:53 PM
Reposting an important call -- these events have had big impact in the past!
The CATCS will be hosting a virtual “Visioning Workshop” the week of July 20 in order...Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | June 6, 2020 at 06:40 PM
This is as much personal recording for me (and perhaps of interest to Harvard people who read the blog). But also putting the numbers here for others to know for...Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | February 2, 2020 at 10:04 PM
I've spent Sunday/Monday at ITCS, or Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science, where I am giving a talk on this paper on Scheduling with Prediction and the Price...Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | January 14, 2020 at 03:27 PM
I have had (as is pretty usual for me) some number of lunches with students this semester, and many of them asked me about the Computer Science move to Allston....Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | November 13, 2019 at 01:23 AM
This was the first Crimson editorial I can recall about the upcoming move computer science will be making to Allston next year. I'd encourage students (both undergraduate...Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | October 12, 2019 at 04:53 PM
As someone who reads a significant number of court documents and decisions (I still do expert witness work), I can recommend for your reading pleasure the very....Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | October 3, 2019 at 01:06 AM
An old friend from college sent me an e-mail, and it got me thinking. When I was an undergraduate at Harvard some significant number of years ago, I took the graduate...Michael Mitzenmacher From My Biased Coin | September 20, 2019 at 04:25 PM
