Some of these areas include sublinear-time algorithms, distributed algorithms, inference in large networks and graphical models. These communities have similar goals but a variety of approaches, techniques, and methods. This workshop is aimed at fostering dialogue and cross-pollination of ideas between the various communities. To this end, the workshop will feature a small number of longer talks that, in part, survey approaches by various communities, as well as short, focused talks on recent, exciting results. The first instantiation of the Workshop on Local Algorithms (WoLA) was held in Fall of 2016. Previous WOLA webpages can be found at: 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025.Workshop Location: 17th floor conference room in the CDS building at Boston University.
