Thanks Adam!

I'm joining the SQL Data Types team in Berlin.

The VLDB demo paper:
"mlidea: Interactively Improving ML Data Preparation Code via 'Shadow Pipelines'"
PDF: www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol18/...
Video demo: youtu.be/ePGm1J6S2qk

Very excited to share that I've started as a Software Engineer at Snowflake! 🥳

I’m also wrapping up my PhD: this week I’m at VLDB in London to present the last demo paper from my time as PhD student, and on September 17 I’ll defend my PhD in Amsterdam.

Really looking forward to this next chapter!

Join us for discussions and talks on data management aspects for end-to-end ML on 27 June at @deem-workshop.bsky.social in Berlin. Keynotes by @pinartozun.bsky.social and @gaelvaroquaux.bsky.social 🤩

Check the full schedule deem-workshop.github.io#schedule & proceedings dl.acm.org/doi/proceedi...

Our demo "mlidea: Interactively Improving ML Data Preparation Code via 'Shadow Pipelines'" was accepted at VLDB! 🥳

We demo suggestions for ML pipelines, similar to IntelliJ code inspections or Grammarly suggestions

📢 Deadline extension for DEEM 2025 @sigmod2025.bsky.social!

Following requests, we're extending the submission deadline to April 1, 5pm Pacific Time. More info at: deem-workshop.github.io

Our vision "Towards Regaining Control over Messy ML Pipelines" was accepted for the DAIS workshop at ICDE! 🥳

Initial experiments show LLMs are promising for extracting declarative query plans from messy ML code.
