We're not abandoning #AcademicTwitter (at least, not yet), but if you've migrated to where the skies are 💙, you can find us there at the same handle. #UWAllen #CSforGood #ComputerScience #CompSci #STEM #Engineering

Cardinality estimation guides decisions on every aspect of query executions. @UW @uw_db #UWAllen professor Dan Suciu developed a more accurate and efficient cardinality estimator—LpBound—that earned a @sigmod Best Paper Award. #UWdiscovers #DataManagement news.cs.washington.edu/2025/07/24/all…
Congratulations to @UW #UWAllen professor Magda Balazinska on her election to the WA State Academy of Sciences, which honored her contributions in data management and data science—including the award-winning Borealis stream processing engine. #UWdiscovers news.cs.washington.edu/2025/07/23/mag…
What happens when a robotaxi from California tries to drive in Cairo? Is that website colorful or chaotic? And when did chatbots get so rude? In a new book, @UW #UWAllen’s @_doctor_kat explores how culture shapes tech use and design. press.princeton.edu/books/hardcove… #HCI #AI #UWdiscovers

WHY do you prefer something over another? Reward models treat preference as a black-box😶🌫️but human brains🧠decompose decisions into hidden attributes We built the first system to mirror how people really make decisions in our #COLM2025 paper🎨PrefPalette✨ Why it matters👉🏻🧵
#UWAllen @UW #robotics professor @abhishekunique7 aims to enable robots to acquire new skills with minimal human intervention through real-world reinforcement learning. @ieeeras honored him at #ICRA2025 this spring for his pioneering work. #AI #UWdiscovers news.cs.washington.edu/2025/07/17/abh…
“Technical computer science savvy and deep philosophical commitments”: @UW #UWAllen alum @andreiskiii was named the @UWArtSci Dean’s Medalist in Social Sciences for his campus leadership and research contributions spanning #AI and philosophy. #UWdiscovers artsci.washington.edu/news/2025-06/2…
Large foundation models trained on massive datasets have revolutionized #AI. Supported by a @GoogleResearch Ph.D. Fellowship, @UW #UWAllen’s @cydhsieh aims to make the process more efficient and affordable to democratize AI development. #UWdiscovers news.cs.washington.edu/2025/07/09/all…
Some updates 🚨 I finished my Ph.D at @uwcse in June 2025! After a year at AI2 as a Research Scientist, I am joining CMU @LTIatCMU & @mldcmu (courtesy) as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2026. The journey, acknowledgments & recruiting in 🧵
More than 100 grads from UW’s Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering are headed to Amazon — an all-time record! Meta & Google each hired 20+ grads. Proud to see Huskies leading the way in Seattle’s tech scene. 🐾🎓#UWGrad25 #GoHuskies | geekwire.com/2025/this-seat…
Excited to present our work at #ICML next week! Always happy to chat about all things 🔥 in Robotics and AI. I’m also be on the academic job market this coming year — would love to connect about any potential opportunities!
Can we build a generalist robotic policy that doesn’t just memorize training data and regurgitate it during test time, but instead remembers past actions as memory and conditions its decisions on them?🤖💡 Introducing SAM2Act—a multi-view robotic transformer-based policy that…
Entry-level tech jobs aren’t disappearing due to #AI—they’re changing. As @UW #UWAllen’s Magda Balazinska explains to @GeekWire, we’ll still need software engineers who can do the “creative and conceptually challenging work” that remains distinctly human: geekwire.com/2025/coding-is…
#UWAllen @UW & @nvidia researchers earned a #MLSys2025 Best Paper Award for boosting #LLM performance with FlashInfer—and showed “what’s possible when academia, industry & the open-source community innovate together,” says @ye_combinator. #AI #UWdiscovers news.cs.washington.edu/2025/07/01/all…
"The hiring trend reflects a strong talent pipeline between the @UW and #Seattle’s tech industry": @GeekWire's @Taylor_Soper examines where #UWAllen graduates are headed next: geekwire.com/2025/this-seat… #STEM #AI #Amazon #Microsoft #Google #Meta #waleg
Congratulations to #UWAllen professor @AdrianaSchulz7 on receiving the 2025 CRA Anita Borg Early Career Award recognizing her research and leadership in computer graphics, including advancing new computational tools for manufacturing-oriented design: cra.org/crn/2025/06/cr…

Super honored to be awarded the Honorable Mention of the Best Senior Thesis Award 2025 by @uwcse 🥳 Glad to see my first author paper SAM2Act receiving more and more recognitions 🚀
On June 13, we celebrated the ~800 graduates in #UWAllen’s #ClassOf2025 for their scholarship, leadership and service — and sent them out into the world ready to use their @UW degree as a “vehicle to creating a better future for everyone”: news.cs.washington.edu/2025/06/25/cel… #ThisIsUW 🎓 1/4
