Upcoming College of Connected Computing at Vanderbilt!

Vanderbilt is establishing a transformative college dedicated to computer science, AI, data science and related fields. The new college will collaborate with all VU schools and colleges to boost computing education and support extraordinary breakthroughs. news.vanderbilt.edu/2024/03/25/van…

Final call for participation in 5th International Verification of Neural Networks Competition (VNN-COMP'24) to be held with 36th International Conference on Computer Aided Verification @confCAV and Symposium on AI Verification (SAIV)! Website: sites.google.com/view/vnn2024

Just in: @VanderbiltU's School of Engineering is waiving its application fee requirement for Ph.D. admission in Summer/Fall 2024 and Spring 2025. Also note that GRE scores are not required for these programs. Learn more: vu.edu/phd-fee-waived

@santoshgnag @confCAV @verivital @VUEngineering Thanks and likewise great to see you and catch up!

@taylorjohnson @confCAV @verivital @VUEngineering It was great to meet you and catch up in Paris!

Had a great time at @confCAV last week! Diego presented new version of our Neural Network Verification (NNV) tool, and I presented about the Verification of Networks Competition (VNN-COMP). Thanks to organizers & attendees! doi.org/10.1007/978-3-… @verivital @VUEngineering

@Mitrasayn @confCAV @verivital @VUEngineering Likewise enjoyed your presentation and great to catch up, had been far too long! I will share photos eventually

@taylorjohnson @confCAV @verivital @VUEngineering Great work! It was terrific to meet Diego and catch-up.

If you're wondering what sort of work #FMAS2023 is interested in, you can take a look at our two invited talks from #FMAS2022 on the @FormalMtds Youtube channel: youtube.com/playlist?list=… Delivered by the wonderful @MSlavkovik and @taylorjohnson

Congratulations to @verivital PhD graduates Drs. Hamilton, Manzanas Lopez, and Musau who were hooded and walked yesterday, it has been a pleasure and honor working with you! @VUEngineering @EceVanderbilt @Vanderbilt_CS @VanderbiltU

@GowthamK @awscloud Congrats! This happened to me once too with a grant from another organization, it unfortunately happens sometimes...

Good news: I got @awscloud’s Amazon Research Award for my proposal on Domain-Specific Solvers for Distributed Program Verification! Bad News: Turns out CU is not happy with the terms and conditions of the award and Amazon is unwilling to negotiate, so I’ll likely have to deny it

#FMAS2023 will be held @iFMconf this year on the 15th and 16th of November 2023, crossing over with the final day of #ifm23 Deadline: 17th of August 2023 (Anywhere on Earth) We are interested in #FormalMethods applied to almost any kind of autonomous system! #ifm2023

Call for research participants! 📢 We are conducting a remote research study on social media and online safety with #teens (13-18 years old) anywhere in the US! Interested participants can sign up here: vusequaltrics.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1X…
