Talk—Integer Programming: Techniques & Applications

I went to Prague to give a talk which summarizes a big chunk of my research in the past 2 years. The topics covered are:

  • Integer Programming (IP) in general
  • Brief mention of fixed dimension theory of IP
  • Unifying theory of IP in variable dimension (capturing basically all developments since total unimodularity) (paper)
  • Applications to Computational Social Choice (elections, voting, bribing, etc.) (speed-ups, new model + handling complex voting rules, diffusion model - available soon)
  • Some experimental results of the IP tools we developed. (paper)

I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles. Last of all, as though I had been born at the wrong time, I also saw him.

Paul of Tarsus, The First Epistle to the Corinthians, likely written no more than five years after Jesus' death (one of the oldest New Testament fragments).

I believe this. If you're curious, feel free to ask!
