Now getting ready for @sirrice keynote introduced by Senjuti @vldb2021 #VLDB2021 #SEAData2021

What better way to start the day than co-chairing a "Women in DB" session at @vldb2021 with amazing @ozcanfatma44, and wonderful panelists Susan Davidson, @stoyanoj, @yytian and @danicaporobic. Thank you so much everyone for the great discussion, insights, and tips!

Last day of VLDB2021 with a series of through provoking workshops. #ProgramStructure_Day5" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">vldb.org/2021/?program-…

Tomorrow, I'll be speaking at @TolokaAI Crowd Science workshop at @vldb2021 towardsdatascience.com/discussing-tru… #crowdsourcing #vldb

@vldb2021 attendees, check out - our demo on a weakly supervised system for EM at 3pm ET! Video => tinyurl.com/panda-demo - roundtable with @ziamurai on "data prep for ML" at 4pm ET! - our work on "data cleaning for ML" with @DS3Lab . Video => youtu.be/VsW_eZTaQD4

More data action on day 4 #ProgramStructure_Day4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">vldb.org/2021/?program-… On top of all best database research, we have our award session, more SDS talks (@DataCereal & Nigam Shah), and a panel by @zgives on DB education.

1/2 Caching for analytics has resurfaced as a challenge in today's disaggregated cloud analytics database architecture. At @VLDB2021, we present research on Crystal - a new DB-agnostic semantic caching middleware. Paper: badrish.net/papers/crystal… Video: youtube.com/watch?v=bI0_1S…

Some shots from day 3

@vldb2021 this week, we are discussing our work on "TURL: Table Understanding through Representation Learning" Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2006.14806… Recorded video: youtube.com/watch?v=wiCCn3… Also feel free to email us if you have any questions/comments.

ICYM Michael Whittaker’s dissertation talk, he has a short video on Scaling Replicated State Machines with Compartmentalization from his session at #VLDB2021 today. In which distributed protocols are refactored for scale-out and simplicity. bilibili.com/video/BV1wo4y1… @vldb2021

The video for our VLDB Panel on ML for Database Tuning is available on Youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=Z-R8q-… One of the main takeaways from @samlightstone: Start simple with blackbox tuning. Then bring in more advanced whitebox ML methods as needed.

More DB goodness with day 3 #ProgramStructure_Day3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">vldb.org/2021/?program-… demos, tutorials, research, industry, SDS talks, and a keynote by the always superlative Gerhard Weikum!

VLDB is the premier conference on databases and storage, and this year’s industry track is unreal! - RAMP-TAO: Layering Atomic Transactions on Facebook’s Online TAO Data Store - The evolution of Amazon Redshift - Big Metadata: When Metadata is Big Data (Google, natch)

I'm looking forward to the Crowd Science workshop at #VLDB2021 on Friday, where I will give a keynote talk titled 🔊"HealthBytes: Fostering a Sustainable Future for Crowd Work". ❤️‍🩹#crowdcomputing #healthtech @vldb2021 @wisdelft @TolokaAI crowdscience.ai/conference_eve…
