The Theory Reading Group brings together researchers from the Archimedes Unit of the Athena Research Center and the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA).
The group focuses on the theoretical foundations of machine learning, algorithms and data, with an emphasis on rigorous mathematical analysis and provable guarantees. Topics include learning theory, algorithm design and analysis, algorithmic game theory and mechanism design, computational complexity, optimisation, and the theory of data-driven decision-making.
At each meeting, a member presents a recent paper or ongoing work, followed by open discussion. The group welcomes students, researchers and faculty interested in theoretical computer science and its connections to machine learning.
When: Every Wednesday, 13:45–15:00 (Athens time).
Join the meeting on Microsoft Teams

Highlights will be added soon.
Archimedes members will present seven papers at the Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP 2026), one of the leading international conferences in natural language processing, taking place in Budapest, Hungary, from 24 to 29 October 2026: three papers in the Findings of EMNLP, one paper in the EMNLP Industry Track, and three papers at EMNLP workshops.
Archimedes members Christos Papadimitriou and John Pavlopoulos will take part in the panel “Education in the Era of Intelligent Systems” at the Academy of Athens Conference on Education, on Wednesday, 21 October 2026.
Archimedes congratulates Christos Papadimitriou, Donovan Family Professor of Computer Science at Columbia University and lead researcher at Archimedes, on receiving the Bodossaki Foundation Excellence Award 2026 in the Technological Sciences category, in recognition of his internationally recognized lifetime achievements.
Με μεγάλη χαρά ανακοινώνουμε ότι από τις 15 έως τις 19 Ιουνίου 2026, στη Σχολή Ηλεκτρολόγων Μηχανικών και Μηχανικών Υπολογιστών του Εθνικού Μετσόβιου Πολυτεχνείου, θα πραγματοποιηθεί Θερινό Σχολείο Μηχανικής Μάθησης και Τεχνητής Νοημοσύνης για μαθητές Δευτεροβάθμιας Εκπαίδευσης (Γ΄ Γυμνασίου – Γ΄ Λυκείου), με διδάσκοντα τον Κωνσταντίνο Καραμανή. Το κείμενο είναι διαθέσιμο στα ελληνικά και στα αγγλικά (English version below).
Archimedes leads a global partnership for trustworthy AI in biomedical research through the EU-funded project AIRIS AI, led by Christos Diou, affiliated member of Archimedes and Associate Professor at Harokopio University of Athens.
The project “ARCHIMEDES Unit: Research in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Algorithms” with code OPS 5154714 is implemented by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0” and is funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.
