From awd at cs.cmu.edu Tue Jun 4 12:00:30 2024 From: awd at cs.cmu.edu (Artur Dubrawski) Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2024 12:00:30 -0400 Subject: Auton Walks in the Park reinstated! Message-ID: Team, We are bringing back the successful tradition of walking together in Schenley Park. A great way to socialize and get to know your teammates, especially if you are new to the team. The first walk in the new series will start at 5:15pm from the NSH entry lobby this Thursday, June 6th. See you all there!

His contributions had been invaluable in multiple ways. Just to name a few, he spearheaded development of a collection of new algorithms for area search and monitoring that substantially improved our Nation's radiation safety. He came up with an algorithm to predict the emergence of novel variants of Covid. He has done many more really useful and novel things, including most recently leading ideation of distributed AI. Kyle definitely will be missed in many ways. But we will work together to bridge the gaps exposed by his departure. Just as in professional sports, when a top player leaves their team, this opens space for younger players to grow, and we have multiple such highly talented people in our team. So I am sad, but not worried about the Team. As for Kyle, he will stay with us till July 12th. Let us please make sure we squeeze him out of all his know-how before that date. Also, once an Autonian always an Autonian, so please join me in wishing Kyle great success at his new professional home. But then also please join me in making him super busy these last few days of his outstanding tenure here. He will then proudly carry the resulting bumps and bruises with him, together with a few joyful memories of his time at the Auton Lab. Kyle: Thanks very much for all you have done, and good luck!

I would like to strongly encourage regular staff and students to take part, particularly former RISS interns, as we expect a sizable showing of the current RISS cohort. We'd start at the NSH entrance lobby. Cheers Artur -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
