PS: EGRAPHS workshop deadline *this* Friday 4/12 AoE!
Join us on Thursday at 9am PT for the first EGRAPHS Community Meeting!
The EGRAPHS Community is an initiative to bring together researchers and practitioners to talk about exciting stuff in and around e-graphs and related topics. The big components are:
- The monthly seminar
- A Zulip for ongoing discussion
- The EGRAPHS Workshop at PLDI 2024 (submissions due April 5!)
For the first meeting, I'll be giving an overview of e-graphs, some recent developments, and some exciting open directions. Don't know much about e-graphs, or curious as to what the latest problems are? This is a great place to start.
The next meeting will be lightning talks from folks in the community; feel free to email me (self) nominations!
See you on Thursday! :)
Moppet, the dog Tessa (my partner) walks is in trouble! They need a temporary home and it's not cheap.
We started a GoFundMe, and anything helps! More info there
