🔮We are looking for research and software engineers to join Orb DB, a conscious, AI-driven graph database. It is our most ambitious system yet! International applicants are welcome to apply below. Please share and contact Sonia Horchidan for details! forms.gle/ptgsBsm2X6AgFK…

CS TU Delft is expanding: we are looking for Asst. or Assoc. Professors in (Trustworthy) AI, Distributed/Data Systems, and everything in between. If you are interested and have questions, drop me an email! tudelft.nl/ewi/over-de-fa…

Very proud of Sonia Horchidan for winning the Best PhD Workshop Paper award at VLDB 2025 🇬🇧 for the ground-breaking work on the ORB DB optimiser. If you are at the conference go ahead and reach her to learn more!

Introducing the ai-cli library, a command-line copilot. It attaches to programs that offer interactive command-line editing and modifies their interface so you can obtain generative AI suggestions with a single keystroke. https:/www.spinellis.gr/l/ai-cli-lib?tw230914

Typical discussion between professors & SW practitioners: - I figured out what you need and built a tool with my grad students. It is a bit buggy & has no documentation, while the UI is draft-y, but it is based on pi-calculus and we published 2 papers on it. - Erm… I’m good.

Took >3 years with Marios Fragkoulis, Paris Carbone & Vasia Kalavri to write a survey on the evolution of streaming systems in the last 20 years (VLDB 2025 🇬🇧 J.). Looking for a single point of reference for all things streaming systems research? It’s here: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Beyond happy to announce that our (Asterios Katsifodimos Rihan Hai, Florena Buse, Kiril Vasilev) paper: "AutoFeat: Transitive Feature Discovery over Join Paths" has been accepted to IEEE ICDE Conference 🥳 In this paper, we propose a novel ranking-based feature discovery method.

Please retweet! Searching for a PhD student for my VIDI grant. The team is building a programming model & self-driving streaming dataflow engine for Transactional Stateful Functions. Apply here by 10th February (and drop me an email): tudelft.nl/over-tu-delft/…

Registrations open *this Thursday* for the 🌞 VLDB Summer School 2024 🌞 The call for participation is already out: vldb.org/summerschool/2… We have a great line-up of speakers! For more details, the event's website is listed below: vldb.org/summerschool/2… VLDB Summer School

On Valentine’s day, all you need is pip 😍 Whether you found your match in life or not, Valentine matches your datasets. Feb. 14th anniversary-release (v0.2.0) includes: — faster batch-matching — more string similarity functions — redesigned metrics ++ github.com/delftdata/vale…

Meet the speakers! Asterios Katsifodimos - Asst. Prof. TU Delft His research, spanning parallel data processing, cloud computing & data integration, has received the ACM SIGMOD Research Highlights & Systems Awards, as well as the EDBT Best Paper and Best Demo Awards.

📢It is my pleasure to announce that on Wednesday at around 15:45 CEST, I will present our approach for automatic feature discovery, called AutoFeat, in the session "Database Technology for AI II" in Theatre 12 IEEE ICDE Conference 🌸Looking forward to seeing you there! 🌸

We managed to get the complete TU Delft “data” team in IEEE ICDE Conference in Utrecht, NL. Here is how it looks like (for now) :)

🎉 I am happy to announce that our demonstration paper, “Human-in-the-Loop Feature Discovery for Tabular Data,” has been accepted at ACM CIKM 2024 🎉 This paper introduces the first user-driven human-in-the-loop feature discovery method called HILAutoFeat.

After some exciting and productive years at TU Delft and WIS Delft, last Monday I successfully defended my PhD dissertation on tabular schema matching! Always grateful to the people that co-advised me, and especially Asterios Katsifodimos!

We've been developing a runtime for Transactional Cloud Apps. Here is why we adopted (streaming) stateful dataflow graphs. "Transactional Cloud Applications Go with the (Data)Flow" K. Psarakis, G. Christodoulou, M. Fragkoulis, A. Katsifodimos. CIDR'25: kpsarakis.com/assets/pdf/sty…

The main work of my PhD, "Styx: Transactional Stateful Functions on Streaming Dataflows," co-authored by George Christodoulou, George Siachamis , Marios Fragkoulis , and Asterios Katsifodimos , got accepted in ACM SIGMOD/PODS ! 📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2312.06893 📜 Code: github.com/delftdata/styx (1/3)
