This workshop will focus on coding theory and algorithms for DNA-based data storage. It will consist of invited and contributed talks, as well as poster presentations from researchers and experts.

Organizers: Shahab Asoodeh, Flavio Calmon, Oliver Kosut, Lalitha Sankar

The ISIT 2024 Workshop on Information-Theoretic Methods for Trustworthy Machine Learning (IT-TML) aims to establish a platform where researchers and engineers can come together to address the challenges and propose solutions pertaining to the responsible deployment of ML in applications of social consequence, with a particular focus on privacy and fairness.

Organizers: Elza Erkip, Ezgi Ozyilkan, Aaron Wagner

This workshop is inspired by the belief that data compression, foundations of which are rooted in information theory, is on the brink of a significant transformation. The emergence of deep generative models, like variational autoencoders, generative adversarial networks (GANs), normalizing flows, and diffusion models, has opened up a fresh path for data compression, one that fully taps into the power of machine learning. These methods demonstrate impressive capabilities, particularly with image and video data, yet challenges remain for practical applications.

Organizers: Zoran Cvetkovic, Pulkit Grover, Amanda Merkley

Neuroscience and neuroengineering are at a cusp today, poised to have a deep impact on our society. The goal of the workshop is to be a catalyst in broadening and deepening information theory’s role in answering key questions in clinical and fundamental neuroscience and neuroengineering. This will in turn contribute to continued growth of information theory by both formulating new fundamental questions as well as broadening its application domain.

Organizers: Priya Nadkarni, Narayanan Rengaswamy, Bane Vasic

The goal of this first edition of the workshop is to provide foundational knowledge in quantum error correction (QEC) for fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC), complement that with exciting talks by invited speakers working in this area, foster discussions on key open problems, both foundational and practical ones, and discuss some of the latest results in the field.
