The student mentoring workshop @ICSEconf is now looking for mentors! As a mentor, you may lead mentoring pods and/or have 1-1 discussions with the students! Please join us to support our students! The workshop will be held on April 29. Apply at: forms.gle/k3DZwp3FwN4Tro…

Excited to be part of this team revitalizing our intro sequence!

NNsight and NDIF Democratizing Access to Foundation Model Internals The enormous scale of state-of-the-art foundation models has limited their accessibility to scientists, because customized experiments at large model sizes require costly hardware and complex engineering

The National Deep Inference Fabric #NDIF, an @NSF-funded AI research infrastructure project, is awarding 2024 **Summer Engineering Fellowships** in Boston. These are summer visiting positions, for current or recent PhD or undergrads, including stipend, travel and housing costs.

So excited to be part of this project!

Currently chairing #icse2024 session on testing. Second most popular area, second smallest room. Hooray for our area - barely room to sit on the floor!

please consider signing up as a student mentor if you're coming to ICSE!! We'll pair you up with students to meet during the ICSE week. What's more fun than that? 🥰 forms.gle/2KAgsnF36QL66q…

Graduating with a PhD in SE and considering what's next? Khoury's distinguished postdoc program will fund and support you to build your own research agenda aligned with our theme of "Envisioning next-generation software" Application review begins Feb 20. khoury.northeastern.edu/research/postd…

@Alexandra__To Last semester I got a complaint: I shouldn't post all of the lecture material on the website, because some students are then no longer motivated to come to class + engage in discussion because there is no strong requirement to do so to get a grade 🤷‍♂️

@Alexandra__To Congrats on making it through a 100+ student course! Engaging students across all levels of backgrounds is the hardest part. Hopefully the students who just put a few hours of effort into their projects won't come back for a reference letter ;)

@dbp__ @mhyee "...programming had become an equally gigantic problem." Fun to think about how much more gigantic the machines have gotten, and the extent to which the "software crisis" keeps pace as we keep pushing the hardware + software to do more.

The NSF has invited us to propose an $18m (RI-1) project for infrastructure to help **you** (academic researchers) to study large language models. What should we build to help your LLM research? Respond with your thoughts. (Or answer 3Q's on a form forms.gle/s7EDW4V12mR7U3…) 🧵

@s_baltes Good fodder for bridging between my DevOps module and my Knowledge sharing module next week... I mean, hey: they posted on Reddit about the change in the kubernetes config file! #risks-and-mitigations" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/kubernetes/enh…

On the importance of knowledge management: "The route reflectors were set up several years ago by the precursor to the current Compute team. Time passed, and with attrition and growth, everyone who knew they existed moved on to other roles or other comp." reddit.com/r/RedditEng/co…

@moarbugs Spring 2023 paper list and lecture slides (broader than testing): neu-se.github.io/CS4910-7580-Sp… Fall 2021 paper list with discussion notes (just testing): neu-se.github.io/CS7580-Fall-20… . All discussion notes are largely unedited by me and primarily reflect student contributions.

@moarbugs Some papers we've had great discussions on in similar classes: GLFuzz (OOPSLA 17), "Simple Testing Can Prevent Most Critical Failures" (OSDI 14), "JEST: N+1-version Differential Testing" (ICSE 19), "Deep Differential Testing of JVM Implementations" (ICSE 19)

I'm teaching a new grad-level course this semester called "Fantastic Bugs and How to Find Them"! We're surveying domain-specific techniques to find special classes of software bugs automatically. Suggestions for case studies and papers welcome! Website: cmu-fantastic-bugs.github.io
