DESCRIPTION:Calc Intelligence aims to bring intelligence to end-user p
 rogramming\, and in particular to spreadsheets. The spreadsheet has contin
 ually evolved to remain at the forefront of productivity tools and work pr
 actices for over forty years. For example\, today’s spreadsheets embrace
  collaboration\, serve as databases\, are mobile\, and encompass AI-powere
 d interaction via natural language. However\, the soul of the spreadsheet 
 remains the grid\, and its formulas. Indeed\, spreadsheets are the world
 ’s most widely-used programming technology – but they also embody appa
 rently-fundamental limitations. We are working on foundational ideas that 
 will take a qualitative step forward\, to extend dramatically the reach of
  what end users can do with spreadsheets. In this talk we will give an ov
 erview of Calc Intelligence (focusing on our recent ML publications) and s
 hare career experiences from two researchers at different career stages (p
 rincipal researcher and post-doc researcher).
