Yes, you read correctly - we will do clustering. High-dimensional, highly personalized with yet to be discovered distance metrics. In all seriousness: We hope to do some interactive clustering with post-its on the whiteboard that will (hopefully) lead to nice discussions on your research ideas and topics.

You have put in a lot of work to cluster yourselves the day before, and now it's time to capitalize on it! Dont worry: This is about research only - we do not expect you to find a new life partner. Although it might be a nice success story for Lamarr....

13:00 - 13:45
Now that you (hopefully) have found your research partner, its time to double-down. We ask you to form small groups with 2-N people in which you build a more concrete research idea. This can be a paper idea, a project proposal, or just some random idea that you want to quickly try out. Try to come up with a short pitch of a) What you want to do b) How you want to do it c) What the timeline is d) (optional) What resources you need to achieve it
