Hi all,

We are pleased to invite you to the 7th Learning Theory Alliance Mentorship workshop, to be held on November 13, 2024. The workshop is free and fully virtual.

The workshop is intended for upper-level undergraduate and all-level graduate students as well as postdoctoral researchers. No prior research experience in the field is expected. The theme of our event is diversity in research approaches. We have several planned events including:

• Two sessions (morning ET and evening ET) of moderated discussions on: 1) Different types of learning theory research, 2) âFastâ and âslowâ approaches to research, and 3) Individual and collaborative approaches to research. Each discussion will involve two learning theory research experts.
• A social hour with mentoring tables.

Our lineup includes: Shipra Agrawal (Columbia), Kamalika Chaudhuri (UCSD), Nicolas Flammarion (EPFL), Tor Lattimore (DeepMind), Gergely Neu (UPF-Barcelona), Ariel Procaccia (Harvard), Aaron Roth (UPenn), Jonathan Scarlett (NUS), Tselil Schramm (Stanford), Aaron Sidford (Stanford), Christina Lee Yu (Cornell) and Angela Zhou (USC). 

A short registration form is required to participate with a deadline of November 8, 2024. Students with backgrounds that are underrepresented or underserved in related fields are especially encouraged to apply. We are trying our best to accommodate all time zones. More information (including the schedule) can be found on the eventâs website: https://let-all.com/fall24.html.

This workshop is part of our broader community-building initiative called the Learning Theory Alliance (founded by Surbhi Goel, Nika Haghtalab, and Ellen Vitercik; advised by Peter Bartlett, Avrim Blum, Stefanie Jegelka, Po-Ling Loh, and Jenn Wortman Vaughan). Check out http://let-all.com/ for more details.

To connect with fellow participants and stay in touch for more announcements, we encourage everyone to join the LeT-All slack.

Best, 

Ciara Pike-Burke, Thodoris Lykouris, Tijana Zrnic and Vidya Muthukumar
