Efficient and Accurate Explanation Estimation with Distribution Compression by Hubert Baniecki and Przemysław Biecek has just been highlighted as a 'spotlight' article at a very prestigious conference in the field of ML/AI. Only 5.1% of publications submitted received such an award!

Congratulations!!!

We encourage you to submit projects for schools, conferences and workshops organized at the Stefan Banach International Mathematical Center (in Warsaw or Będlewo) in the years 2025-2027.

Scientific events approved by the international Scientific Council of the Banach Center will receive the status of 'Banach Center Events' and organizational assistance and funding, depending on the IM PAN budget.

We wish all students and teaching staff a few moments of carefree relaxation.

See you on February 17th in class!

The first lecture in the series "Maria Skłodowska-Curie lecture" will be given by Prof. Antonio Acin from ICFO (Barcelona) on the subject of secure, device-independent cryptographic key exchange. Prof. Acin was a 4-time ERC grantee in the field of his research.

See you on February 20 at 12:30, in room 2180!
