Hi all,

Here is an algorithmic interview problem: https://hackmd.io/@YXt5n2DpQ-ymkg4mzA5cbw/B1kLLWYzR

If you solve it and/or find it interesting, we have Ph.D. positions in algorithms and AI available at George Mason University (Washington, DC) for students interested in doing cutting-edge research and publishing in top computer science venues (AAAI, FOCS, ICLR, ICML, NeurIPS, SODA, STOC, etc.). Over the years our group has maintained active collaborations with research groups at leading industrial organizations, including Amazon NYC, Facebook HQ, and Google (HQ and NYC). Onsite visits can be organized for selected candidates.

Ph.D. ($35-45K/year), details at: http://grigory.us/phd-call-f24.html

Our past and present interns and students include Chameleon2460, dyukha, josdas (at this time, internships are not available). For more information on our group and alumni placements, you can check http://grigory.us/#group-alumni

Please, feel free to PM if you have any questions.

Hi all,

By popular demand we have created a summer internship program for undergraduate students at IU. Internship positions for Summer 2019 are now available at the Center for Algorithms and Machine Learning at Indiana University, Bloomington, USA. Check out this link for the details of the call: http://grigory.us/gtap.html.

Application deadline: Dec 15, 2018.

We welcome applications from students with strong olympiad background (IMO, IOI, ACM ICPC, TopCoder, Codeforces, Kaggle, etc.). Our group includes some former olympiad competitors like myself (Top-24 in TCO'10) and Yuan Zhou (IOI 1st place, '05; ACM ICPC 2nd place '09).

Feel free to contact me directly or ask any questions here if you are interested. Please, note this is a highly competitive program with hundreds of applicants so I might not be able to answer everyone.

Hi all,

This is a follow-up on my previous blog post about Ph.D. positions in Algorithms and Machine Learning at Indiana University, USA (http://mirror.codeforces.com/blog/entry/45559 ). For the details about the application process see the original post and this link: http://grigory.us/phd-call.html (deadline for full applications is Dec 01, 2016).

Since that post generated some interest I have compiled a list of possible open problems in algorithms research to consider during a Ph.D.: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4mf2b6f9fa9rx91/open-new.pdf?dl=0 It is also intended to give one a sense of how modern research in algorithms looks like. The list includes a diverse set of problems covering massively parallel computation, clustering, various forms of graph sparsification, algorithmic questions in testing analytic properties of high-dimensional functions used in machine learning and topics in communication complexity.

Please, note that most of these problems are quite hard and have been studied by many researchers in the past. While I encourage you to send me solutions I can't promise to reply to your e-mail unless one of the following two conditions holds: 1) You have clearly resolved the problem. 2) You made some progress and/or have questions AND are applying for a Ph.D. position at Indiana University during this application cycle.

Good luck!
