*About the Series*The IDEAL workshop series brings in experts on topics
related to the foundations of data science to present their perspective and
research on a common theme. This workshop is part of the Spring 2022 Special
Quarter on High-Dimensional Data Analysis
<https://www.ideal.northwestern.edu/special-quarters/spring-2022/>. This
program is organized by Konstantin Makarychev (NU) and Yury Makarychev
(TTIC).

*Hope to see you all at the workshop!*
