Fluid News

Fluid now supports PurePy v0.12, which means dataclasses and Python-style modules and imports with full compatibility with that subset of Python. pure-py.github.io

👋 Could you be one of our 2026 ICCS interns? We’re looking for 5 interns to join us this summer. 3 will work on projects under the supervision of ICCS postdoctoral researchers; 2 will work on projects in collaboration between ICCS + @clr-cambridge.bsky.social Info: iccs.cam.ac.uk/opportunitie...

Part 1 covers the 2nd Programming for the Planet conference (@propl.dev) organised by @kcsrk.info @dorchard.bsky.social and me. There were talks, demos and discussions about what we can do as computer scientists to avert the climate and biodiversity crises anil.recoil.org/notes/icfp25... 🌍

@f.luid.org has self explanatory, transparent text as part of its program execution to help justify claims in prose with supporting data #icfpsplash25

Roly Perera telling us about @f.luid.org which tracks data provenance and enriches web outputs with this richer context #icfpsplash25

The 2nd PROPL is today, and will be livestreaming from www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIRJ... in an hour! Full program here conf.researchr.org/home/icfp-sp... and an overview of the program at dl.acm.org/action/showF...

Language-Based Dependency-Tracking for Explorables, presented at LIVE 2025. Joint work with Joe Bond, Cristina David, @mcnuttandrew.bsky.social and Alfonso Piscitelli. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gds8...

Excited for three Fluid presentations coming up: Fluid: Towards Transparent, Explorable Research Outputs rsecon25.society-rse.org Language-Based Dependency Tracking for Explorables liveprog.org Authoring Tools for Transparent Climate Reporting conf.researchr.org/home/icfp-sp...

👀 Fancy a summer internship working at the intersection of programming languages, AI/ML and HCI, working on a new language being developed at ICCS for open climate science communication? See @f.luid.org and www.epsrc.group.cam.ac.uk/DTP/internsh... for more information. ⏰ Deadline Fri 14 March!

The Institute of Computing for Climate Science (ICCS) has moved to Bluesky: @iccscambridge.bsky.social

Come join us in Cambridge! 2 new EPSRC-funded residental undergraduate internships available this summer, working alongside our DeepMind interns at the intersection of PL, AI/ML and HCI. Deadline 14 March. More at f.luid.org/student-proj.... Apply here: www.epsrc.group.cam.ac.uk/DTP/internsh....

@dynamicaspects.org presented Fluid at last week’s Virtual Earth System Research Institute journal club. Talk available at www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KUW... www.schmidtsciences.org/virtual-eart...

This poster provides a bit of context for our two DeepMind summer internships: an AI “authoring assistant” (for writing text with embedded Fluid computations), and an AI “reading assistant” (for turning provenance traces into natural language explanations). www.cst.cam.ac.uk/outreach/dee...

New paper (accepted to ESOP 2025) “Cognacy Queries over Dependence Graphs for Transparent Visualisations”, with Joe Bond, Cristina David, Minh Nguyen and @dorchard.bsky.social. arxiv.org/abs/2403.04403

Matrix convolution example, running with our new dependence-graph implementation of Fluid. Output interactions highlights inputs cells being consumed; input interactions highlight output cells that consume that input. 50-80x speedup vs. the previous implementation! ⏩⏩
