SAIL summer plans
by Ravi Netravali 29 Apr '25

29 Apr '25

Hi Everyone, Unfortunately, we have a bunch of people traveling for conferences this week as well! So, let's skip the SAIL meeting this week. In the meantime, we are starting to plan for the Summer. In particular, there seems to be strong interest in running more focused reading groups and having tutorials about different open-source components (e.g., serving systems) and skills (e.g., GPU programming, dataset curation). Can you each please fill out this form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSekbsgCaRaMLa7uofOxUVm_tQMu8k6xQKj…> so we can get a sense of what participation would look like? Cheers, Ravi

Hey everyone, We’re skipping this week’s SAIL meetup since many people are attending ICLR. Enjoy the conference, and we’ll be in touch soon with some plans for the rest of the semester and the summer! Best, Rui

SAIL meeting today
by Ravi Netravali 09 Apr '25

09 Apr '25

Hi Everyone, Friendly reminder that we'll have our next Systems+AI meeting today in CS 302 - hope to see most of you in person. For today, we'll continue presentations from David Wentzlaff's group, and then hear from our newest faculty member, Jialin Ding! Also, as we near the end of intro presentations from different groups, we've begun thinking about the best structure and schedule for subsequent meetings. If you have thoughts about what you'd like to get from these meetings, please do share (either in today's meeting or offline). Example topics we've been considering include traditional reading group meetings and tutorials for tools/techniques across the AI stack. See you soon! Ravi

Systems+AI meeting tomorrow!

Hi Everyone, Friendly reminder that we'll have our second Systems+AI meeting tomorrow from 2-3pm. Unfortunately, it was difficult to find a great room alternative that was amenable to our group size and a hybrid meeting setup, so let's just stick with CS 302 (and the same zoom link <https://princeton.zoom.us/j/99553455678?pwd=CxXkhCSMr6NSuHEXOavneMxmatlKm3.1> as last time). This week, we'll have great intro talks from Danqi and Tri's groups! See you tomorrow, Ravi

Welcome to Systems+AI@Princeton!
by Ravi Netravali 06 Mar '25

06 Mar '25

Hi Everyone, Welcome to the new Systems for AI Lab/Initiative! We're very excited to get this off the ground and pursue lots of fruitful collaborations, open-source systems, and other avenues for this topic. For this semester, we are planning to start with weekly meetings on *Wednesdays from 2-3pm* starting after Spring Break, i.e., first meeting on 3/19 (calendar series <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/2?cid=Y19kYjcwYzg5YzQ5MDJhYTc0ZDllYj…>). I hope that most of you will be able to attend: if you generally can't make this time, please do email me (if enough people can't, we'll work to reschedule). In terms of agenda, for the first few meetings, we're planning to have "introduction" presentations from each group to help us gain an understanding of what everyone is working on and interested in across the stack. It would be wonderful if each group could share an overview of what their group works on in the AIML space, and dive into a few recent projects. Ideally, we'll have 2-3 groups per week, grouped by the topic they work in, e.g., one week will be runtime/infra, another can be hardware, another on model architecture/algorithms. Here's a proposed presentation order <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CbaZQnhle1jgkof3QFmQg1zBwo-9f0-kali…>, but please let me know if we need to shuffle things around. After that, we will shift more to paper discussions and reading groups on some recent topics, e.g., reasoning models. Lastly, thank you to my students -- Rui Pan, Mike Wong, Yinwei Dai -- for setting up our website <https://sysml.cs.princeton.edu/>! If you have any additional content (e.g., people, papers, project directions), please do coordinate with them to make sure it gets added. Best, Ravi
