If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge.
Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden.
This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy.
It’s not America.

2:30pm today at #ICSE2025: Data scientists regularly use sketches to design data pipelines. My student @luisfgomes.bsky.social built a prototype tool to generate data science notebook code from sketches. We studied the sketches developers produce, and assessed utility, uses cases, & needs.

Very proud of my student @nikitharao.bsky.social, who wrote 7(!) papers and did an incredible amount of work to wrap up a fantastic PhD this Spring!

With the US speed-running its own collapse, any thoughts on the new best country for CS research? Bonus points for family-friendly options, but the bar is low.

Can multi-modal LLMs help build data science pipelines from a whiteboard sketch? New paper led by @luisfgomes.bsky.social, to appear at ICSE’25! Read for insights into how devs sketch (lots of differences), what the models can & can’t provide (reduce lines written by about half), and future outlook.

The Software and Societal Systems (S3D) department in the School of Computer Science at CMU is hiring tenure-track faculty! This year we are especially looking in AI/ML for SE.
