The IGAFIT Highlights of Algorithms (HALG) conference is designed to be a forum for presenting the highlights of recent developments in algorithms. The conference will provide a broad picture of the latest research in algorithms through a series of invited talks and survey presentations, as well as the possibility for all researchers and students to present their recent results through a series of short talks and poster presentations.

This year, HALG is planned to feature around 16 invited talks and 5-6 survey talks, as well as ~50-60 short contributed presentations and a poster session. The last editions of the conference were a true success with about 200 registrants with a large participation of PhD and young researchers.


Call for Nominations

The HALG 2025 conference seeks high-quality nominations for invited talks that will highlight recent advances in algorithmic research. Similarly to previous years, there are two categories of invited talks:
A. survey (50 minutes): a survey of an algorithmic topic that has seen exciting developments in the last couple of years.
B. paper (30 minutes): a significant algorithmic result appearing in a paper in 2024 or later.
To nominate, please email Virginia Vassilevska Williams (program chair) <halgchair AT gmail DOT com> the following information:
Basic details: speaker name + topic (for survey talk) or paper's title, authors, conference/arxiv + preferable speaker (for paper talk). Brief justification: Focus on the benefits to the audience, e.g., quality of results, importance/relevance of topic, clarity of talk, speaker's presentation skills.
All nominations will be reviewed by the Program Committee (PC) to select speakers that will be invited to the conference. Nominations deadline: 11th January 2025. Please keep in mind that the conference does not provide financial support for the speakers.
