CodePlot-CoT: Mathematical Visual Reasoning by Thinking with Code-Driven Images
Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision Language Models (VLMs) have shown significant progress in mathematical reasoning, yet they still face a critical bottleneck with problems requiring visual assistance, such as drawing auxiliary lines or plotting functions to solve the problems. Most LLMs and VLMs are constrained to text-only reasoning chains, while multimodal unified models that can generate interleaved text and images lack the necessary precision and controllability for…

Interoperability From OpenTelemetry to Kieker: Demonstrated as Export from the Astronomy Shop
The observability framework Kieker provides a range of analysis capabilities, but it is currently only able to instrument a smaller selection of languages and technologies, including Java, C, Fortran, and Python. The OpenTelemetry standard aims for providing reference implementations for most programming languages, including C# and JavaScript, that are currently not supported by Kieker. In this work, we describe how to transform OpenTelemetry tracing data into the Kieker framework. Thereby, it …

Stop DDoS Attacking the Research Community with AI-Generated Survey Papers
Survey papers are foundational to the scholarly progress of research communities, offering structured overviews that guide both novices and experts across disciplines. However, the recent surge of AI-generated surveys, especially enabled by large language models (LLMs), has transformed this traditionally labor-intensive genre into a low-effort, high-volume output. While such automation lowers entry barriers, it also introduces a critical threat: the phenomenon we term the "survey paper DDoS att…

Dual-Language General-Purpose Self-Hosted Visual Language and new Textual Programming Language for Applications
Most visual programming languages (VPLs) are domain-specific, with few general-purpose VPLs like Programming Without Coding Technology (PWCT). These general-purpose VPLs are developed using textual programming languages and improving them requires textual programming. In this thesis, we designed and developed PWCT2, a dual-language (Arabic/English), general-purpose, self-hosting visual programming language. Before doing so, we specifically designed a textual programming language called Ring for…

Automated Program Repair of Uncompilable Student Code
A significant portion of student programming submissions in CS1 learning environments are uncompilable, limiting their use in student modeling and downstream knowledge tracing. Traditional modeling pipelines often exclude these cases, discarding observations of student learning. This study investigates automated program repair as a strategy to recover uncompilable code while preserving students' structural intent for use in student modeling. Within this framework, we assess large language model…

Designing Walrus: Relational Programming with Rich Types, On-Demand Laziness, and Structured Traces
We present Walrus, a functional relational programming language embedded in Haskell that extends the miniKanren model with type-polymorphic unification, on-demand laziness, and a range of usability features aimed at practical development. These include use of Haskell Generics for boilerplate reduction, structured debugging traces, and ergonomic support for product types. We describe the design and implementation of Walrus through the lens of our experience developing bidirectional compilers, an…
