Workshops

1. Amin Karbasi joint with Yaron Singer, Jeff A Bilmes, Andreas Krause, and Stefanie Jegelka, organized Discrete Structures in Machine Learning workshop at NIPS 2017.
2. Amin Karbasi joint with Yasaman Bahri, Quanquan Gu, and Hanie Sedghi organized Overparameterization: Pitfalls & Opportunities workshop in ICML 2021.

Julia Robinson Mathematical Festival:

In the last two years, and with the help of Yale’s Pathway to Science, I have co-organized Julia Robinson Mathematical festival at Yale. It is a celebration of mathematics where high school students come together to work collaboratively in groups to solve fun math problems.
