In the last couple of years, large language models have taken the world by storm, and have shown remarkable ability to create, explain, critique and debug code. In this talk, I will provide an overview of this area both from a research as well as technology point of view. I’ll describe how at Google we have been working on weaving AI capabilities in developer workflows, how we collect data, how we prioritize our work, and the impact that this work is showing. I will discuss how model quality and user experience interact in interesting ways that have a material implication on the success of such tools. I will share some thoughts on how the field is evolving from its erstwhile focus on code completion to higher-level tasks. Finally, I will discuss the role of benchmarks in our community, and what we can do to push the state of the art together at a higher pace. </span></span></p><p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"> </span></p><p style="margin:0in"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Bio:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"> Satish Chandra is a researcher at Google, where he applies machine learning techniques to improve developer productivity. His work has spanned many areas of programming languages and software engineering, including program analysis, type systems, software synthesis, bug finding and repair, software testing and, of course, application of AI to software development. His research has been widely published in leading conferences in his field. Satish Chandra obtained a PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a B.Tech from the Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur, both in computer science. He is an ACM Distinguished Scientist and an elected member of WG 2.4.</span></p><p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><img border="0" width="140" height="157" style="width:1.4531in;height:1.6302in" id="m_5948443638402323254Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01DB3124.59FA6F50"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Upcoming S3D Seminar Series Talks</span></u></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">January 29: Nick Feamster*</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">February 5: Vladimir Filkov*</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">April 30: Danah Boyd*</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:16.5pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#282828">Links available to recordings are here.
