Dr. Graham Neubig
Keynote title TBD
Abstract: TBD
Graham Neubig’s Bio: Graham Neubig is an associate professor at the Language Technologies Institute of Carnegie Mellon University. His research focuses on natural language processing and large language models, including both fundamental advances in model capabilities and applications to tasks such as software development. His final goal is that every person in the world should be able to communicate with each-other, and with computers in their own language. He also contributes to making NLP research more accessible through open publishing of research papers, advanced NLP course materials and video lectures, and open-source software, all of which are available on his web site.

Dr. Matthew B. Dwyer
Keynote title TBD
Abstract: TBD
Matthew B. Dwyer’s Bio: Matthew B. Dwyer is the Robert Thomson Distinguished Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Virginia. His research interests focus on methods for reasoning about the behavior of software. His prior work has improved and applied a wide-range of formal reasoning frameworks, such as model checking, symbolic execution, and abstract interpretation, to programs. His current efforts are exploring methods to assure the dependability of autonomous systems built from diverse component sources (e.g., software built by humans, trained by machine-learning approaches, or synthesized from high-level models).
