BIFOLD Colloquium 07/07/23

Abstract: 

The past years have been marked by several breakthrough results in the domain of generative AI, culminating in the rise of tools like ChatGPT, able to solve a variety of language-related tasks without specialized training. In his talk, Immanuel Trummer outlines novel opportunities in the context of data management, enabled by these advances. He discusses several recent research projects at Cornell, aimed at exploiting advanced language processing for tasks such as parsing a database manual to support automated tuning, or mining data for patterns, described in natural language. Finally, he will present recent and ongoing research, aimed at synthesizing code for SQL processing in general-purpose programming languages, while enabling customization via natural language commands.
