The second Sublinear Algorithms Day will take place at MIT on Friday, April 10, 2015.
This event will bring together researchers from academic institutions in the northeast for a day of interaction and discussion. It will feature talks by experts in the areas of sublinear and streaming algorithms, as well as a poster session for up-and-coming researchers to showcase their work.
Wondering what sublinear algorithms are? See this short description by Ronitt Rubinfeld.
