great opportunity for PhD positions in ML and data management - lots of interesting topics, and depending on the topic, supervised by one or multiple BIFOLD groups.

Research Paper / Thursday June 22 AWARE: Workload-aware, Redundancy-exploiting Linear Algebra. Sebastian Baunsgaard, Matthias Boehm dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/35… Sebastian Baunsgaard Matthias Boehm

🎇 We have another opening for a PhD student position in the BIFOLD agility project 'LungCAIRE' with Charité on multimodal data representations for lung cancer relapse prediction and related use cases: jobs.tu-berlin.de/en/job-posting… (application deadline: Sep 08, 2023)

Today, we had Tilmann Rabl and his entire team at Hasso-Plattner-Institut join us at the TU Berlin DAMS Lab for an all-day event of talks, discussions, and break-out sessions. It was really great, and we totally forgot to take any pictures.

The BIFOLD doctoral school has a new call for 10 PhD student positions (application deadline: Jan 26, 2024): jobs.tu-berlin.de/en/job-posting… bifold.berlin/education/thes…

This semester I did a traveling sabbatical in Europe. Many thanks to Tilmann Rabl, Matthias Boehm, Peter Boncz for giving me a place to crash at their groups & everyone who hosted me for a talk!! Here are the slides & itinerary for the talk: itu-dasyalab.github.io/RAD/talk/files…

⚠️#JobAlert: Our group at BIFOLD is looking for #postdoctoral researchers to join our team. If you are interested in conducting research at the intersection of #machinelearning & #datamanagement for #earthobservation ➡️ Apply before Feb 15th, 2024: jobs.tu-berlin.de/en/job-posting…

📢 Excited to share Feature Clock, an open-source library and paper accepted at IEEE VIS! Feature Clock enhances the explainability and compactness of visualizations of high-dimensional effects in two-dimensional plots. Big thanks to my co-authors Valentina Boeva and Rita Sevastjanova!

Here is David's great work on non-invasive adaptive query processing in DuckDB, which originated from multiple Schloss Dagstuhl seminars. We're also working on an actual DuckDB extension to contribute it back.

🚀 We have a new open position for a PhD student to research generative AI in security and privacy. Fully funded and based in vibrant Berlin! Apply by September 13: mlsec.org/jobs.html#jobs BIFOLD TU Berlin

Congrats to all the distinguished associate editors and reviewers VLDB 2024 and thanks for the effort - I'm honored and thankful to be on the list as well.

📢Our benchmark on self-supervised learning for single-cell data🧬 is accepted at the #NeurIPS2024 SSL workshop. We take a first step towards establishing best practices for SSL methods for single-cell data, and benchmark 8 SSL methods on 3 downstream tasks across 8 datasets.

The SIGMOD/PODS 2025 Programming Contest goes into another round. We (Bo Tang, Tilmann Rabl, and myself) just published the timeline and task overview: sigmod-contest-2025.github.io/index.html Thanks to Carlo Curino and Microsoft for the continued support.

📢 Our extended benchmark on self-supervised learning for single-cell data, scSSL-Bench 🧬, is now accepted at ICML (spotlight)! Thanks to all collaborators from BIFOLD and ETH CS Department !

There is a new open call for a PhD position in our DAMS lab group. 🎇🎆 This position is about research on ML system internals (DSL/APIs, compiler, runtime, accelerators) with involvement in teaching. You can apply until July 18 here tinyurl.com/hyjertvb

The DEEM Lab is at ICML this week for the first time, with two contributions! (1/3)

🎉 Happy to present our spotlight paper at #ICML2025 tomorrow 🇨🇦 We introduce scSSL-Bench, a benchmark evaluating 19 SSL methods across 9 single-cell multi-omics datasets🧬 and 3 tasks. Visit our poster: 📅 Thu Jul 17, 11 AM - 1:30 PM PDT 📍 West Exhibition Hall B2-B3 #W-311

Today, Jonas presents a new type of adversarial examples at ICML Conference! We exploit subtle numerical differences between linear algebra backends and craft inputs that yield different predictions from the same model depending on the backend used 🤯 mlsec.org/docs/2025-icml… 1/4

✨ Excited to present our workshop paper at DataWorld at #ICML2025 tomorrow 🇨🇦 We introduce the problem of detecting cross-modal errors in tabular data that originate from other modalities. Visit our poster: 📅 Saturday, July 19, 10:05 AM - 11:20 AM 📍 West Meeting Room 208-209

Proud advisor moment: Today, Sebastian Baunsgaard successfully defended his PhD with a very convincing talk and discussion. 💯 I'm very happy and thankful. ❤️ Also thanks to the external reviewers Carsten Binnig and Viktor Leis, as well as Volker Markl for heading the committee.
