Algorithmic Engagements 2025
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to take part in the programming competition "Potyczki Algorytmiczne" (Algorithmic Engagements)!
The elimination rounds will be held online on March 10-16, and the finals, as it has become usual, in Zielona Góra (on May 23-24).
We encourage not only students and not only MIM; the competition is nationwide and open to all!

Publication highlighted at the ICLR conference
Efficient and Accurate Explanation Estimation with Distribution Compression by Hubert Baniecki and Przemysław Biecek has just been highlighted as a 'spotlight' article at a very prestigious conference in the field of ML/AI. Only 5.1% of publications submitted received such an award!
Congratulations!!!

Winter holidays are on
We wish all students and teaching staff a few moments of carefree relaxation.
See you on February 17th in class!

The first lecture in the series "Maria Skłodowska-Curie lecture"
The first lecture in the series "Maria Skłodowska-Curie lecture" will be given by Prof. Antonio Acin from ICFO (Barcelona) on the subject of secure, device-independent cryptographic key exchange. Prof. Acin was a 4-time ERC grantee in the field of his research.
See you on February 20 at 12:30, in room 2180!

Wishes
For this New Year, we share with you "topological" wishes: closing unfinished projects, bounding distracting activities, and therefore compactly waiting for the outcome! :)
All the best wishes from MIMUW!
