For English-speakers and francophones: please feel invited to two lectures given by our post-doc Noemie Combe:

Erreurs de la logique : comment les illusion d'optiques reflètent un raisonnement fallacieux

and

The Mayan calendar and its incredible mathematical predictions

See you on Saturday, 22nd of March!

We are proud to announce that two SONATA BIS grants are awarded to Marek Cygan (Robot generalist - advancing robot learning via reinforcement learning and VLAs) and Lorenzo Clemente (Analysis of quantitative models of computation).

Congratulations as well to Piotr Gwiazda for winning the MAESTRO grant for the project that will be implemented at ICM UW: Research challenges of partial differential equations inspired by state-of-the-art statistics and machine learning algorithms.

We cordially invite you to attend the second special Faculty Colloquium during which new faculty members will deliver short accessible talks presenting their areas of research. Speakers:

• K. Kazaniecki (functional analysis)
• K. Myśliwy (mathematical physics)
• R. Meller (probability)
• M. Włodarczyk (algorithmics)
• W. Zuba (text algorithms)

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!

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!!!

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" 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!

New positions (teaching and research-teaching) at the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics have been opened.
We encourage you to see the announcements ("More").

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!
