Workshop

You are invited to attend the third Southern Ontario Learning Theory Workshop, held at the University of Waterloo on Monday, November 10, 2025.

This one-day event brings together researchers specializing in the mathematical foundations of machine learning, fostering collaboration and community among learning theorists from various institutions.

This two-day workshop, organized jointly by Inria (Institut national de recherche en informatique et en automatique), the University of Waterloo, and Université de Bordeaux, brings together researchers from across disciplines to explore collaborative opportunities in digital health, artificial intelligence, security and privacy, human-computer interaction, and applied mathematics.

Waterloo’s Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience supports the development of robust explanatory theories of mind and brain through education and research.

In pursuit of that goal the CTN has invited four internationally renowned speakers to present generally accessible lectures from each of the perspectives of neuroscience, computational neuroscience, psychology and philosophy on the ideas of mind, brain, theories and models.

Please note: This workshop will take place in DC 1302 and online.

You are invited to join the Machine Learning Theory Workshop on Monday, November 6, 2023 in DC 1302 and online. 

This workshop will bring together researchers with expertise in mathematical foundations of machine learning. The purpose of this event is to foster connections and build a research community among learning theorists from various institutions.

Everyone is welcome to attend this free online event.

We have all been in conversations where a friend, colleague or boss makes an off-handed or stereotypical comment. Such comments can be hurtful and make for a non-inclusive learning or working environment. We might let the comment slide because we want to move on and don’t want to make the speaker defensive. However, by not speaking up, we silently convey that such comments are OK with us and we help to normalize them.

Three-day programing workshop

The next Waterloo-local Association for Computing Machinery style programming contest will be held on Saturday, June 24 in MC 3003. All members of the Waterloo community are invited to try their programming skill in Scheme, C, C++, Java, Pascal, Python, or Scala.

For full details and online registration, please see: http://acm.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~acm00/

GIRLsmarts4tech is an outreach program aimed at inspiring girls to explore technology. During the day-long workshop, girls will learn about various aspects of computer science, including mobile app design and programming, user interfaces, and how computer science applies in other fields and disciplines.

Grades 7 and Grade 8 girls who have no programming experience and who are interested in learning computer science are encouraged to register for this event.
