๐Ÿ“ข Iโ€™m looking to hire a postdoc to work closely with me and my research group at UT Austin on exciting topics in core PL/FM, as well as applications of PL/FM ideas to other areas. If you are interested, or know someone who might be a great fit, please DM me!

This enables efficient and adaptable analysis across domains: the blue line and bars show how more invariants get strengthened as gradient steps R increase, while the red line shows convergence to the most precise invariants computed by an LP solver baseline, 3.2ร— faster. [4/N]

AbsEvolve also handles non-linear operators like quadratic assignments. Check out our paper for more details on this and other supported domains and operators, formal guarantees, and full evaluation: sgomber.github.io/assets/pdfโ€ฆ [N/N]

Really nice work! Leveraging LLMโ€™s general ability to reason about code execution and and then generating reusable rewrite rules to make the process reliable by grounding it with traditional compiler techniques; best of both worlds and the way to go!
Thereโ€™s a lot of discussion around using LLMs to generate compiler code via prompting, but this on-the-fly approach can be unreliable and brittle. We propose ๐‘๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ž๐…๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ, a more reliable way to use LLMs for optimizing data-analysis programs (e.g, Pandas). (1/5)

Neural abstract interpretation is indeed an exciting direction, some work from our group that tries to build small neural networks that serve as abstract interpreters. LLMs are also possible iclr.cc/virtual/2025/36221

Excited to present our work on Sketching for Distributed Learning at my first NeurIPS! Grateful to my amazing collaborators-- @BerivanISIK , Qiaobo Li, @sanmikoyejo and Arindam Banerjee. Visit our poster on Thursday, 11-2 PST! ๐Ÿš€ #NeurIPS2024
Excited to share our @NeurIPSConf paper "Sketching for Distributed Deep Learning: A Sharper Analysis": openreview.net/pdf?id=0G0VpMโ€ฆ We provide a significantly improved convergence analysis for sketching-based distributed learning frameworks by exploiting the properties of the deep learning losses, such as restricted strong smoothness. With that, we break the dimension dependence in the convergence error and communication cost -- showing the promise of sketching for larger models. Unfortunately, I am not attending NeurIPS this year but visit our poster on Thursday 11-2 PST and ask Mayank any questions you may have. w/ Mayank Shrivastava, Qiaobo Li, @sanmikoyejo, Arindam Banerjee

I'm so excited to share my latest paper called DELIFT along with @krishnatejakk @lucian_popa_us @cheburashkadoll at @IBMResearch ๐ŸŽ‰ We tackle expensive fine-tuning by selecting a small subset of informative data that targets a model's weaknesses.

#ILLINOIS computer science professor Gagandeep Singh and PhD student Isha Chaudhary have determined that large language models have biased output that can spread misinformation and widen social gaps between various demographic groups. Read more! โ–ถ๏ธbit.ly/4fe7qdP

Can LLMs make us critical thinkers? TreeInstruct reorients LLMs to be instructors that guide students socratically to solve problems, instead of assistants that provide direct answers. Check out arxiv.org/abs/2406.11709 (w/ @priyanka_karg) to learn more!

QuaCer-B is a novel quantitative certification framework for bias in LLM responses. It generates *provable* LLM bias measures for prompts sampled from given distributions and can be used for open-source and API LLMs alike ๐Ÿคฉ Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2405.18780 Check out ๐Ÿ‘‡for details

Are you sure that nothing can drive your LLM towards boldly discriminating against protected demographic groups in nearly every other prompt? Can you guarantee that!? Well โ€ฆ now you can!! ๐Ÿ“ข Introducing QuaCer-B, the first certification framework for bias in LLM responses. A๐Ÿงต
