Wow!! 🤯🤯🤯 Openings of *30* tenured and/or tenure-track faculty positions in Artificial Intelligence! ejobs.umd.edu/postings/124144

Okay, we don’t even have 30 CS faculty members, not to mention AI specifically.

I am recruiting PhD students & Postdocs on AI Security, LLM Agents, Code Generation research at UMD Computer Science UMD Department of Computer Science & Maryland Cybersecurity Center Maryland Cybersecurity Center (MC2) For PhD program pls mention me in your application cs.umd.edu/grad/apply. For Postdocs please email me.

I wrote a survey article on computationally efficient methods for "robust" mean estimation, which includes robustness to contamination, heavy-tailed data, or in the sense of differential privacy. The same ideas are useful for all 3 (seemingly-different) forms of robustness! 1/2

We will be recruiting two motivated PhD students at UT Arlington CSE for Fall’25. We will investigate interesting problems in Software Security, and Machine Learning Security. If you are interested please reach out (via email: [email protected]) to learn more.

1/ Most membership inference attacks (MIAs) have seemingly converged to black-box settings, driven by empirical evidence and theoretical folklore suggesting black-box access was optimal. But what if this assumption missed something critical? 😨 tl;dr? It did 🧵

Katie Schuman, a neuromorphic computing researcher and assistant professor, wrote a review article published in Nature on how to bring neuromorphic (brain-inspired) computing to the masses. Schuman has secured a $4 million grant from U.S. National Science Foundation for her work. 🔗 bit.ly/4h7n4bo

Together with Mihai Christodorescu (Google), John Mitchell (Stanford), Khawaja Shams (Google) and Somesh Jha (Wisconsin), we are organizing a workshop on Secure AI Agents co-located with IEEE S&P 2025! This will be a discussion oriented workshop (details in thread).

Our IEEE S&P SAGAI workshop on systems-oriented security for AI agents has speaker details (abs/bio) on the website now: sites.google.com/ucsd.edu/sagai… We look forward to seeing you in San Francisco on May 15! As a reminder, we are running this "Dagstuhl" style - real discussions.

I am looking for a postdoc to work on multi-agent safety problems, if you are interested or know anyone let me know: forms.gle/NFuYLKj53fVwdW…

SaTML was the best conference I attended in both 2024 and 2025. It's just the right size and scope that you learn a lot and get to connect with so many cool folks. Help host it in a city near *you*! (And follow SaTML Conference for all the latest announcements and updates)

📢📢 Submit your cool ideas to HotNets. This year’s HotNets will be hosted at College Park, MD on Nov. I will be the general chair. Brighten Godfrey and Barath Raghavan are PC chairs. The deadline is 7/1 AoE: conferences.sigcomm.org/hotnets/2025/ Submit your ideas and come visit us!

ICML's election for their board of directors has begun. I've thrown my hat in the ring. Please consider voting for Gautam Kamath. I have experience with the governance of TMLR, COLT, and ALT, and I think I've demonstrated myself as a consciencious and engaged community member.

Congratulations to Dongarra Professor Michela Taufer, who received the 2025 Achievement Award in High Performance Distributed Computing for her impactful work in volunteer computing and advancing HPC! Visit the link to learn more! 🔗 bit.ly/3TraI3T
