@RajeevAlur
Professor of Computer Science at @Penn, researcher in Formal methods, Programming languages, Safe AI, Cyber-physical systems
Besides traditional research papers, we also invite tutorials, surveys, and a special disruptive ideas track where five selected entries will receive $100K each of seed funding from DARPA.
The goal of this meeting is to bring together researchers in AI/ML + PL/FM and AI/ML + CPS/Control, all interested in developing neurosymbolic solutions to challenging system design problems

Very much enjoyed advocating for symbolic reasoning for Trustworthy AI in my NSF CISE lecture, the recording is now available at nsf.gov/events/neurosy…
Congratulations to @_ziyang_ for his outstanding thesis that advances theory, tools and applications of neurosymbolic AI, looking forward to his contributions as he sets up his own research group
Congratulations to Dr. Ziyang Li (@_ziyang_) on defending his dissertation today! Titled "Neurosymbolic Programming in Scallop: Design, Implementation, and Applications", this dissertation proposed Scallop, a unified programming system for combining the otherwise complementary…
Looking forward to discuss the promise of neurosymbolic approaches to trustworthy AI at @NSF CISE nsf.gov/events/neurosy…
Excited that Phillip Hilliard (co-advised with @RajeevAlur) will present work on adaptively processing stream queries with ML operations, in the aiDM workshop at SIGMOD in ~1 hour! The idea: under QoS/budget constraints, we should adaptively trade off accurate vs fast models.
Meet Prof. @lorisdanto!🙌 A first-gen student from Italy to @UCSanDiego CSE, he’s making code more accessible using formal methods + ML Off campus? He’s a surfer, climber, musician, magician!🏄🪄 Welcome to the team!🎉 cse.ucsd.edu/about/news/gre… #FacultySpotlight #FirstGen #CSE
Pot of gold at the end of obstacle course with conference submission deadlines: a PhD! Congratulations to Dr. Anton Xue! @AntonXue

Congratulations to Swarat Chaudhuri (PhD, @PennCIS 2007) for this wonderful honor from Guggenheim Foundation gf.org/stories/announ…
Honored to be highlighted in NSF CISE monthly newsletter, and grateful for the support from @NSF to do basic research over the years #SupportNSF

It was great to host NSF workshop to bring together many folks working to make AI safe and trustworthy #SupportNSF
The @pennasset's @nsf Workshop on the Science of Safe AI brought together researchers to explore the future of AI safety. Watch the highlights in this video. @rajeevalur @cis_penn @pennengineers #SafeAI
ASSET Center welcomes @mjagadeesan25 on Wednesday, February 5th! Can’t wait to hear more about steering machine learning ecosystems!
If you are interested in neurosymbolic problems, and feel overwhelmed at ML conferences and abandoned at traditional CS conferences, you will find a home here!
Besides traditional research papers, we also invite tutorials, surveys, and a special disruptive ideas track where five selected entries will receive $100K each of seed funding from DARPA.
