I spoke with community college grads who stand to earn more than some peers at elite Stanford University UCLA UC Berkeley. Majors matter, sometimes more than the institution attended, Michael Itzkowitz data show. w/@latfoto photos, Phi Do graphics. bit.ly/46fgoTw

Incredibly humbled to receive the #VLDB2023 early career research contributions award this year. This is only possible thanks to all my students, collaborators, mentors, and teachers from Allen School UC Berkeley EECS and beyond. Thank you for your support and inspiration over the years!

Welcome to UC Berkeley EECS , Alane Suhr and Matei Zaharia !

ICYMI like last year there are **two** deadlines for ECOOP in 2024. It's an awesome conference. Submit your best work to ECOOP’24 Conference !

Unlike text, code is highly structured. We just released a new benchmark and leaderboard for fill-in-the-middle coding tasks, with splits based on code structures to be generated. Models should be "code structure aware" to do well. Submit your best models! safimbenchmark.com

ICDE 2024 offers attendance support to students (graduate or undergraduate), postdoctoral fellows/researchers, or junior faculty. See more info and apply at forms.gle/15qDhX62gVvzcm… **Deadline: April 2, 2024**

We're working to make liquid types more usable! If you've worked with LiquidHaskell or are interested in doing so, please join our study!

At #pldi today Gabriel Matute will be presenting his work on syntactical search on code. We support both wildcards and even partially parsable queries! Check it out: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36…

Also, ICYMI Shadaj Laddad presented his work on a Rust-based streaming dataflow language for distributed workflows. Check out pldi24.sigplan.org/details/cp-202… and the hydro project: hydro.run

Do you use the cloud to run your LLMs? Check out Mélange, our tool that tells you what mix of GPUs you should use for your deployment: tyler-griggs.github.io/blogs/melange

We're still getting the OOPSLA 2025 site up. But for those who're wondering: OOPSLA 2025 will have two rounds of submission as before, and the deadlines will be as follows: R1: Tue 15 October 2024 R2: Tue 25 March 2025 Please share with others who might be interested.

Humbly honored to receive the Dahl-Nygaard Junior Prize ECOOP’24 Conference this year. Thank you AITO, and all the great students, mentors, and colleagues I have the fortune to learn from. Excited that our work is recognized by both the PL and DB communities! eecs.berkeley.edu/news/alvin-che…

EECS is hiring! Open faculty positions are now available. We welcome applicants from all areas focusing on originality and research promise. Join us in shaping the future of EECS! #UCBerkeley #EECS 🔗 More info: bit.ly/3AaLZdY 🔗 bit.ly/3YgWDb6

Many streaming systems out there lack formal semantics. Check out Flo, our semantics framework for reasoning about streaming systems. We've used it to reason about DBSP, Flink, and our very own hydro.run!

happening now at NeurIPS!

New Blog Post! shadaj.me/writing/distri… I argue that we’re *still* lacking a programming model that’s native to distributed systems, and outline what’s missing.

We've been working on extracting information in templatized PDFs for the last couple of years, leveraging the best of LLMs and classical data extraction techniques. Our latest technique, TWIX, has the best of all worlds: beats Azure DI, AWS Textract, or LLM-based approaches by

In this work, we show how to use off-the-shelf LLMs to generate code for accelerators. This is interesting as accelerators are often "low resources," i.e., there isn't much code written using such accelerators to train custom models. Check out our paper for details!

And we just won the outstanding paper award at the MLArchSys workshop this year! Congrats Charles, sahil bhatia and Sophia Shao! 🎉🎉

Honored to be the Rock Star Award recipient this year. Thank you ACSIC, the Chinese and #AAPI communities, along with the support from UC Berkeley EECS students, colleagues, and beyond! eecs.berkeley.edu/news/alvin-che…
