Today I turn 60 – and what a journey this has been! Grateful for family, friends, students, colleagues, and a scientific community that keeps me inspired. The big party? You’ll have to wait four years, when I hit my (binary) 1,000,000th birthday. 😉
Deadline extended to Oct 31, 2025!
Want to go to Brazil with travel support?
Check out #SMeW — a great opportunity for students to learn, connect & grow!
I co-chaired its 2019 launch (with Lori Pollock & Christian Kästner, with tremendous support by #ICSE19 GC Jo Atlee) and coined the name (yes, the duck 🦆)! @icseconf.bsky.social
We welcome broad LLM for code work
- code broadly defined including source code, binary code, intermediate code, web code, LaTeX code, etc.

A list of test of time awards for papers with Andreas Zeller as co-author
Fun fact: Of my nine papers that got a long-term impact award, none got a “best paper” award when they were published - and conversely, none of my “best paper”-awarded papers got an impact award later. Is this a common phenomenon?
Congratulations, Andreas! Very well deserved!
Our SELP paper is an #ICRA25 Best Paper Award Finalist, among a selected few from 4,153 submissions! 🏆 Proud of my PhD student Yi Wu & the team! www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/lintan...

#DistributedDL #AI
1/2 D3 introduces the first differential testing technique specially designed for distributed DL software. D3 leverages a new distributed equivalence rule and automatically generates diverse distributed settings, models, and model inputs.
🚀 Thrilled to share our #TSE journal-first paper D3: Differential Testing of Distributed Deep Learning (DL)! @Jianan will present it at #ICSE2025. D3 detects 21 bugs (12 new!) in PyTorch and TensorFlow. 🔗 www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/lintan... #DeepLearning #SoftwareTesting @cerias.bsky.social
Meet the recipients of the 2024 ACM A.M. Turing Award, Andrew G. Barto and Richard S. Sutton! They are recognized for developing the conceptual and algorithmic foundations of reinforcement learning. Please join us in congratulating the two recipients! bit.ly/4hpdsbD
White House budget proposal may slash NSF funding from 9 billion to 3 billion a year.
3/3 📊 Our experiments demonstrate SELP’s effectiveness across diverse tasks. In drone navigation, SELP outperforms state-of-the-art LLM planners by 10.8% in safety rate and by 19.8% in plan efficiency. For robot manipulation, SELP achieves a 20.4% improvement in safety rate.
2/3 3️⃣ Domain-Specific Fine-Tuning: Customizes LLMs for specific robotic tasks, boosting both safety and efficiency.
1/3 💡SELP has 3 key insights:
1️⃣ Equivalence Voting: Ensures robust translations from natural language instructions into LTL specifications.
2️⃣ Constrained Decoding: Uses the generated LTL formula to guide the inference of plans, ensuring the generated plans conform to the LTL.
Introducing our first #ICRA2025 paper, SELP (Safe Efficient LLM Planner), a method for generating plans for robot agents that adhere to user constraints while optimizing for time-efficient execution. Preprint: arxiv.org/pdf/2409.19471

5/5
Thus, combined with the increasing sophistication of cybercrime that poses significant threats worldwide (e.g., cybercrime is predicted to cost the world $10.5 trillion annually by 2025 (Sausalito, 2020)), effective binary analysis techniques are in high demand.
4/5
For example, when performing tasks such as identifying attacks and malware, security analysts often only have access to assembly, i.e., the human-readable representation of binary code, which is extremely difficult to understand.
