[DMANET] Postdoc in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Linköping University (Sweden) advertises up to two (2) positions as
Postdoc in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
(formally based at the Department of Computer and Information Science).
The postdoc(s) will join a research project co-directed by Guest WASP
Professor Hector Geffner. The project focuses on a fundamental research
problem that is at the heart of the current split in AI between data-based
learners and model-based reasoners: the problem of learning symbolic
first-order representations from raw perceptions. Data-based learners,
like those based on deep learning, are popular because there is plenty
of data available. However, they produce black boxes that lack the flexibility,
transparency, and guarantees of model-based systems. Building models by hand,
on the other hand, is just too hard and time-consuming for most applications.
By showing how to learn meaningful, symbolic models from raw perceptions, the
research is aimed at integrating the benefits of data-based learners and
model-based solvers in the context of planning, where representations play a
key role in expressing, communicating, achieving, and recognizing goals.

Call for Workshops
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Workshops Chairs of GECCO 2020 invite domain experts to submit
proposals for organizing a workshop at GECCO 2020.
Workshops at GECCO provide the possibility to commonly develop
visions and exchange ideas in an informal setting, especially if
focused on an emerging research field or interdisciplinary research
area. In contrast to regular sessions, workshops can (and should)
host interactive sessions (posters, discussions, demonstrations,
etc.). Attendance at the workshops will be free to all GECCO
attendees.
Workshop organizers are responsible for coordination and publicity.
They collect and review papers, and provide a list of accepted
papers and their authors, if applicable. Alternatively, a list of
(invited) speakers and titles of talks to be given can be provided.
If required, the GECCO organizers may provide additional support to
the workshop organizers, such as publicity. Note that organizers,
participants and presenters must register for the conference.
Accepted workshop papers will be published as part of a companion
volume to the conference proceedings in the ACM Digital library.
### Submission Process ###
Submissions are made via the Workshop Proposal Form available at:
https://gecco-2020.sigevo.org/index.html/Call+for+Workshops
### Reviewing of Proposals ###
Workshop proposals will be reviewed by the Workshops Chairs and
other members of the GECCO 2020 organizing committee.
Final decisions will be made based on GECCO attendees' likely
interest, the breadth and depth of the topic(s), and the expertise
and credentials of the instructor(s).

[DMANET] Research School on Graph Packing
LMS Research School on Graph Packing
-------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
We are inviting applications for participation in a research school on
"Graph Packing":
19 - 25 April 2020,
in Eastbourne, UK.
Lecturers:
- Felix Joos (University of Hamburg, Germany): "Regularity and absorbing
for packing"
- Diana Piguet (Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague): "Random processes
and packings"
- Alexey Pokrovskiy (Birkbeck, University of London): "Rainbow matchings
and packings"
Plenary Speakers:
- Penny Haxell (University of Waterloo, Canada)
- Vojtěch Rödl (Emory University, USA)
- Peter Keevash (University of Oxford, UK)
Organisers: Peter Allen, Julia Böttcher, Jozef Skokan (London School of
Economics)
Application deadline: 31.1.2020
More information & application form at:
http://personal.lse.ac.uk/boettche/ResearchSchool/
-------------------------------------------------------
Synopsis:
The application of random processes, the regularity method, and the
absorbing method are three powerful modern techniques in Extremal
Combinatorics which featured in many significant advances in the field
over the last 20 years. One topic that brings all these three approaches
together is that of graph and hypergraph packing. Packing problems study
conditions under which copies of different graphs can be embedded
edge-disjointly into a given host graph. There are applications of this
in such diverse areas as information theory, computational complexity,
computational biology, experiment design, and the theory of
combinatorial games. With the help of the above-mentioned techniques,
celebrated breakthroughs were recently possible on a number of
long-standing and difficult questions in this area.
The purpose of this Research School is to introduce young researchers to
these problems, results, and techniques, and to explore open questions
in the field and in related research areas.
-------------------------------------------------------
The research school is financially supported by the London Mathematical
Society and the Heibronn Institute for Mathematical Science. Limited
need-based financial support is available for participants.

[DMANET] PhD Studentship at University of Exeter - a decomposition framework for mathematical programming problems Ref: 3751
The University of Exeter's College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences is inviting applications for a fully-funded PhD studentship to commence in February 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter. For eligible students the studentship will cover UK/EU/International tuition fees plus an annual tax-free stipend of at least £15,009 for 3.5 years full-time, or pro rata for part-time study. The student would be based in the College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences at the Streatham Campus in Exeter.
Project Description:
Mathematical optimisation problems arising from real-world applications typically consist of many interconnecting components, i.e. a fleet of vehicles at a delivery depot, crew and aircraft in airline operations and the numerous, semi-autonomous power stations supplying the electricity grid. These interconnections introduce structure that can be exploited through the use of decomposition techniques. A popular decomposition technique used to exploit such structure is Benders' decomposition.
Recently, a general Benders' decomposition framework has been made available within the mathematical and constraint programming solver SCIP (scip.zib.de). This framework provides the functionality to solve many real-world optimisation problems, specifically mixed integer programs and convex quadratic programs. However, there are still many problem classes that are not fully supported, such as convex and non-convex mixed integer non-linear problems. The goal of this project is to extend the Benders' decomposition framework in SCIP to handle a wider range of problem classes. This will involve the development of novel solution algorithms that can be applied to general problems instances.
This project requires a high competency in mathematics and software design and development. You will become part of the SCIP Development Team (scip.zib.de) and contribute to the growth of this highly regarded general purpose solver. Knowledge of discrete optimisation, operations research and linear programming is a bonus.
How to apply:
In the application process you will be asked to upload several documents.
• CV
• Letter of application (outlining your academic interests, prior research experience and reasons for wishing to undertake the project).
• Transcript(s) giving full details of subjects studied and grades/marks obtained (this should be an interim transcript if you are still studying)
• Two references from referees familiar with your academic work. If your referees prefer, they can email the reference direct to stemm-pgr-admissions@exeter.ac.uk quoting the studentship reference number.
• If you are not a national of a majority English-speaking country you will need to submit evidence of your proficiency in English.
The closing date for applications is midnight on 15th November 2019. Interviews will be held on the University of Exeter Streatham Campus the week commencing 25th November 2019.
If you have any general enquiries about the application process please email stemm-pgr-admissions@exeter.ac.uk or phone +44 (0)1392 722730 or +44 (0)1392 725150. Project-specific queries should be directed to Dr Stephen J. Maher s.j.maher@exeter.ac.uk.

[DMANET] Two postdoctoral positions in algorithms/random graphs at the University of Glasgow
We are pleased to announce two postdoctoral positions at the University of Glasgow, working with Kitty Meeks and Jessica Enright on the EPSRC-funded project Multilayer Algorithmics to Leverage Graph Structure (MultilayerALGS). These positions are funded for 36 months starting on 1st March 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Candidates for both positions should have (or expect to obtain very soon) a PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a closely related area. The two positions require slightly different expertise: for the first, we are looking for experience in random graphs and/or complex network models, and for the second the emphasis is on algorithmic graph theory and/or parameterised complexity. Candidates whose skills span the two positions are strongly encouraged to apply for both.
The closing date for applications is 5th December 2019, and interviews are scheduled for 10th January 2020. Informal enquiries to Kitty Meeks (kitty.meeks@glasgow.ac.uk<mailto:kitty.meeks@glasgow.ac.uk>) or Jessica Enright (jessica.enright@glasgow.ac.uk<mailto:jessica.enright@glasgow.ac.uk>) are welcome.

[DMANET] DCC '20 deadline extended
Dear Colleague,
The deadline for the *IEEE Data Compression Conference* (DCC '20) has
been *extended
by a week*, from November 1st to November 8th. The conference will feature
another special session on *Computation over Compressed Data*. This
session extends the special sessions at DCC '14, '16 and '18 and we invite
you to submit interesting new results you may have both on *compact data
structures* and on *compression-aware algorithms* (i.e., those that run
faster on compressible inputs).
The session will be an opportunity for members of our community to confer
with each other and reinforce our topics' relevance to the wider field of
data compression. Selected papers from the 2014, 2016 and 2018 sessions
were invited to special issues of the *Journal of Discrete Algorithms*
(published March 2017), *Algorithmica* (published July 2018) and *Information
and Computation* (in preparation), respectively. If we again receive
enough suitable papers, we will arrange another special issue of a
comparable journal for extended versions of some of them.
Papers are now due by *November 8th* 2019 (23:59 PST) and the conference
will take place from March 24th to 27th 2020 in Snowbird, Utah (a premier
ski resort in the Rocky Mountains). The DCC submission process (see
http://www.cs.brandeis.edu/~dcc/Call.html) will allow authors to direct
their papers to the special session, but submissions will be otherwise
handled in the same way, will be subject to the same review process and, if
accepted, will be included in the same proceedings.
Best regards,
Travis Gagie and Simon Gog
(session co-chairs)

[DMANET] CFP: SWAT 2020: The 17th Scandinavian Symposium and Workshops on Algorithm Theory, Torshavn, Faroe Islands, June 22-24, 2020
CALL FOR PAPERS
Paper Submission Deadline: February 14, 2020
https://easychair.org/cfp/swat2020
SWAT 2020: 17th Scandinavian Symposium and Workshops on Algorithm Theory
Vestarabryggja 15, Torshavn, Faroe Islands, June 22-24, 2020
https://www.setur.fo/en/education/swat-2020/
The Scandinavian Symposium and Workshops on Algorithm Theory (SWAT), which alternates with the Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium (WADS), is a forum for researchers in the area of design and analysis of algorithms and data structures.
We invite submissions of papers presenting original research on algorithms and data structures. Though we welcome experiments, the theoretical results in the articles will be the main measure for evaluating their merits. Algorithmic approaches of interest include, but are not limited to: approximation algorithms, parametrized algorithms, distributed algorithms, parallel algorithms, external-memory algorithms, data structures, exponential time algorithms, online algorithms, randomized algorithms, streaming algorithms, sub-linear algorithms. The algorithmic problems considered may be motivated by applications, e.g. in optimization, geometry and topology, graph analysis, bioinformatics, visualization, string processing, information retrieval, machine learning, algorithmic game theory, or mechanism design.
Contributors must submit their papers using the Easychair system Submissions (https://easychair.org/cfp/swat2020) should be in LIPIcs format (without font size, margin, or line spacing changes), and not exceed 12 pages including front page and references. See www.dagstuhl.de/publikationen/lipics/anleitung-fuer-autoren<http://www.dagstuhl.de/publikationen/lipics/anleitung-fuer-autoren> for instructions. Additionally, if full details of proofs do not fit into the page limit, a clearly marked appendix containing the remaining details must be included; this appendix will not be regarded as part of the submission and will be considered only at the discretion of the program committee. Submissions deviating substantially from this format risk rejection without consideration of their merits.
Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously unpublished work. At the time the paper is submitted to the symposium, and for the entire review period, the paper (or essentially the same paper) must not be under review by any other conference with published proceedings or by a scientific journal. However, we encourage authors to make a preprint of their paper available at a public repository such as arXiv. At least one author of every accepted paper is expected to register and present the paper at the symposium. Symposium proceedings will be published in the "Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics" (LIPIcs) series. A prize will be awarded to the author(s) of the best student-authored paper. A paper is eligible if all of its authors are full-time students at the time of submission. This must be indicated in the submission process.
