Delayed due to lack of picture, but it was *really* great to catch up with past #UBDB (pre-#UBDBPL) grads in the bay area last month. My PhD student @amazing_ying , MS thesis student Gourab, and Varsha and Harsh: 2/4 of best 5/662 team I've ever taught. (and Zhen too!)

'Grats Dr. Huber!
Aaron's #Thesis work demonstrated that queries evaluated on a probabilistic database have, in general, a higher fine grained complexity than when the same query is evaluated on the analogous deterministic database... and that's still the case under bag semantics.
One thing led to another, and it all ended in a mashup of Wander Join and the GProm Provenance system that can (approximately) answer probabilistic queries *faster* than a deterministic database can (exactly) answer the same query.
Looking forward to #OnDBDay this coming Dec 12 at Waterloo!
- Darshana will be giving a talk on multiquery optimization for faster compilers.
- Pratik will be giving a poster on our work on data integration for longitudinal studies.
- @bicknrown will be giving a poster on our work using ring-dictionaries as the basis of a new on-disk datalog engine.
