Title | Co-Designing Infrastructure, Runtime, and Model Serving for Efficient AI Systems |
Location |
"Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly transformed scientific research, industry, and everyday life. The rapid evolution of AI models, particularly large language models (LLMs), has dramatically increased the computational and memory demands of modern AI workloads. As AI models continue to grow in scale and complexity, performance bottlenecks increasingly arise across multiple layers of the AI systems stack" Read more

Title | Scalable Software Testing and Analysis with NLP Methods |
Location | GN 303 |
"Building reliable and secure software increasingly depends on work that grows faster than the people available to do it: sorting and prioritizing security vulnerability reports, testing machine learning models for hidden failures, and judging the AI assistants that now help write code. Each of these tasks is still done largely by hand. This dissertation demonstrates that natural language processing (NLP) methods can handle much of this manual work. " Read more
