A one-hour long informative webinar titled “Something for almost nothing: a gentle introduction to sublinear
time algorithms” by Mr Nithin Verma, Assistant Professor, Computer Science Department at Chennai Mathematical Institute, took place on September 2, 2022. The webinar explored the sublinear computation paradigm to tackle big data
challenges with real-life examples. This was followed by insights into solving non-trivial problems in sublinear-time and efficient algorithms to test the correctness of graphs. The webinar was aimed at the cruciality of rethinking conventional notions of efficient algorithms used to manage and analyze modern datasets that revolve around billions of inputs. The Webex session concluded with questions from the attendees. This webinar marked the beginning of the activities of
