Investigating Industry--Academia Collaboration in Artificial Intelligence: PDF-Based Bibliometric Analysis from Leading Conferences
This study presents a bibliometric analysis of industry--academia collaboration in artificial intelligence (AI) research, focusing on papers from two major international conferences, AAAI and IJCAI, from 2010 to 2023. Most previous studies have relied on publishers and other databases to analyze bibliographic information. However, these databases have problems, such as missing articles and omitted metadata. Therefore, we adopted a novel approach to extract bibliographic information directly fro…

Desyan: A Platform for Seamless Value-Flow and Symbolic Analysis
Over the past two decades, two different types of static analyses have emerged as dominant paradigms both in academia and industry: value-flow analysis (e.g., data-flow analysis or points-to analysis) and symbolic analysis (e.g., symbolic execution). Despite their individual successes in numerous application fields, the two approaches have remained largely separate; an artifact of the simple reality that there is no broadly adopted unifying platform for effortless and efficient integration of s…

Query Logs Analytics: A Aystematic Literature Review
In the digital era, user interactions with various resources such as databases, data warehouses, websites, and knowledge graphs (KGs) are increasingly mediated through digital platforms. These interactions leave behind digital traces, systematically captured in the form of logs. Logs, when effectively exploited, provide high value across industry and academia, supporting critical services (e.g., recovery and security), user-centric applications (e.g., recommender systems), and quality-of-servic…

Subsampling Factorization Machine Annealing
Quantum computing and machine learning are state-of-the-art technologies which have been investigated intensively in both academia and industry. The hybrid technology of these two ingredients is expected to be a powerful tool to solve complex problems in many branches of science and engineering such as combinatorial optimization problems and accelerate the creation of next-generation technologies. In this work, we develop an algorithm to solve a black-box optimization problem by improving Facto…

Where are GIScience Faculty Hired from? Analyzing Faculty Mobility and Research Themes Through Hiring Networks
Academia is profoundly influenced by faculty hiring networks, which serve as critical conduits for knowledge dissemination and the formation of collaborative research initiatives. While extensive research in various disciplines has revealed the institutional hierarchies inherent in these networks, their impacts within GIScience remain underexplored. To fill this gap, this study analyzes the placement patterns of 946 GIScience faculty worldwide by mapping the connections between PhD-granting ins…

Today's job: editing a former student's brilliant paper on a topic near and dear to my heart for publication in the journal. #Academia has its days.

faculty_hiring_us: Faculty hiring networks in the US (2022)
Networks of faculty hiring for all PhD-granting US universities over the decade 2011–2020. Each node is a PhD-granting institution, and a directed edge (i,j) indicates that a person received their PhD from node i and was tenure-track faculty at node j during time of collection (2011-2020). This dataset is divided into separate networks for all 107 fields, as well as aggregate networks for 8 domains, and an overall network for …

Are other academic journals seeing an uptick in obvious spam submissions? Over the past couple of years, we've received an increasing number of obviously irrelevant submissions - articles that have nothing to do with our focus. What's happening here? People trying to check some box for a performance review?

Thunderhammer: Rowhammer Bitflips via PCIe and Thunderbolt (USB-C)
In recent years, Rowhammer has attracted significant attention from academia and industry alike. This technique, first published in 2014, flips bits in memory by repeatedly accessing neighbouring memory locations. Since its discovery, researchers have developed a substantial body of work exploiting Rowhammer and proposing countermeasures. These works demonstrate that Rowhammer can be mounted not only through native code, but also via remote code execution, such as JavaScript in browsers, and ov…

Cross-Domain Evaluation of Transformer-Based Vulnerability Detection on Open & Industry Data
Deep learning solutions for vulnerability detection proposed in academic research are not always accessible to developers, and their applicability in industrial settings is rarely addressed. Transferring such technologies from academia to industry presents challenges related to trustworthiness, legacy systems, limited digital literacy, and the gap between academic and industrial expertise. For deep learning in particular, performance and integration into existing workflows are additional concer…

Personalized and Constructive Feedback for Computer Science Students Using the Large Language Model (LLM)
The evolving pedagogy paradigms are leading toward educational transformations. One fundamental aspect of effective learning is relevant, immediate, and constructive feedback to students. Providing constructive feedback to large cohorts in academia is an ongoing challenge. Therefore, academics are moving towards automated assessment to provide immediate feedback. However, current approaches are often limited in scope, offering simplistic responses that do not provide students with personalized …

Extended Version: It Should Be Easy but... New Users Experiences and Challenges with Secret Management Tools
Software developers face risks of leaking their software secrets, such as API keys or passwords, which can result in significant harm. Secret management tools (SMTs), such as HashiCorp Vault Secrets or Infisical, are highly recommended by industry, academia, and security guidelines to manage secrets securely. SMTs are designed to help developers secure their secrets in a central location, yet secrets leaks are still commonplace, and developers report difficulty in learning how to setup and use …

A academia acabou de me mandar um e-mail dizendo que sou cliente deles hš 13 meses. Considerando que eu devo ter ido umas 15 vezes, foi um senhor desperdício de dinheiro =x

TFW your university adopts a new, "streamlined" expense reimbursement system while allowing new submissions to the old system that just... disappear. Of course, no one thought to put a link in flashing letters saying "use the new site instead"!!! Oh, and did I mention that the new system is "streamlined"? There's no way I just spent an absurdly long time trying to get reimbursed for a few books.

Tomei um susto ontem de madrugada (longa história) e por conta disso eu rendi muito pouco hoje. Também não consegui ir pra academia. Mesmo assim eu vou resistir Š tentação de estender o horšrio de trabalho, vou encerrar o expediente por hoje. Preciso ser bem rigoroso quanto a isso, minha saúde mental requer este cuidado.

Eu vou pro Pilates/academia e a combinação entre acordar cedo e os exercícios fazem com que eu chegue em casa tão exausto que preciso ficar uns 40 minutos jogado no sofš até ser capaz de fazer algo minimamente útil novamente. E, mesmo assim, o cansaço me deixa em câmera lenta por horas. Espero que isto melhore a medida que eu pegar o ritmo, pois desse jeito não dš pra ficar.
