Adoption of Explainable Natural Language Processing: Perspectives from Industry and Academia on Practices and Challenges
The field of explainable natural language processing (NLP) has grown rapidly in recent years. The growing opacity of complex models calls for transparency and explanations of their decisions, which is crucial to understand their reasoning and facilitate deployment, especially in high-stakes environments. Despite increasing attention given to explainable NLP, practitioners' perspectives regarding its practical adoption and effectiveness remain underexplored. This paper addresses this research ga…

Using Oral Exams in Physics and Astronomy Courses
Oral exams were common historically across academia, though their popularity has recently fallen. Many argue against them as an assessment technique because they are vulnerable to bias and subjectivity, difficult to administer, and impractical in large college classes. I present a method for administering oral examinations in upper-level courses that mitigates some of the disadvantages. This method creates a rigid question structure meant to assess student mastery of material, have a well-defin…

Long Polar vs. LDPC Codes under Complexity-Constrained Decoding
The prevailing opinion in industry and academia is that polar codes are competitive for short code lengths, but can no longer keep up with low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes as block length increases. This view is typically based on the assumption that LDPC codes can be decoded with a large number of belief propagation (BP) iterations. However, in practice, the number of iterations may be rather limited due to latency and complexity constraints. In this paper, we show that for a similar numb…

Unveiling Dynamic Binary Instrumentation Techniques
Dynamic Binary Instrumentation (DBI) is the set of techniques that enable instrumentation of programs at run-time, making it possible to monitor and modify the execution of compiled binaries or entire systems. DBI is used for countless security applications and analyses, and is extensively used across many fields in both industry and academia. Over the years, several DBI approaches have been proposed based on different technologies and implementing diverse techniques. Every solution tries to ov…

I just saw an old piece of the kids' French schoolwork lying around. On the top of the sheet, printed in all caps, was "TA MISSION." My mind, warped by #academia, immediately had me wondering what my kids were learning about teaching assistants.

Why do women pursue a PhD in Computer Science?
Computer science attracts few women, and their proportion decreases through advancing career stages. Few women progress to PhD studies in CS after completing master's studies. Empowering women at this stage in their careers is essential to unlock untapped potential for society, industry and academia. This paper identifies students' career assumptions and information related to PhD studies focused on gender-based differences. We propose a Women Career Lunch program to inform female master studen…

AI for Better UX in Computer-Aided Engineering: Is Academia Catching Up with Industry Demands? A Multivocal Literature Review
Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) enables simulation experts to optimize complex models, but faces challenges in user experience (UX) that limit efficiency and accessibility. While artificial intelligence (AI) has demonstrated potential to enhance CAE processes, research integrating these fields with a focus on UX remains fragmented. This paper presents a multivocal literature review (MLR) examining how AI enhances UX in CAE software across both academic research and industry implementations. Ou…

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…

Characterizing Trust Boundary Vulnerabilities in TEE Containers
Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) have emerged as a cornerstone of confidential computing, garnering significant attention from both academia and industry. To enable the secure development, execution, and deployment, of applications on TEE platforms, TEE containers have been introduced as middleware solutions. These containers aim to shield applications from potentially malicious operating systems and orchestration interfaces while maintaining usability and reliability. In this paper, we an…

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 …

O último dia em que fui na academia/Pilates foi 21/07. Eu deveria ir amanhã, mas não sei ainda se vou. Jš estou indo dormir muito tarde e esta semana promete ser particularmente enrolada.

I like to complain about mean, petty, and just generally awful colleagues as much as anyone in #academia. But most people around here are alright. Some are even great. Today's example: a junior colleague at a different university asked to see something relatively minor, but still meaningful that I and a senior colleague had put together for internal purposes. When I asked the older guy if it was OK …

Apesar do cansaço (acabei dormindo tarde ontem), fui ao #Pilates cedo e depois fiz um pouco de esteira e bicicleta na academia. Eu cheguei dez minutos atrasado no Pilates e fiz cinco minutos a menos de exercício na academia do que o planejado, mas ainda assim a sensação é de merecer uma medalha rs.

Software Engineering for Large Language Models: Research Status, Challenges and the Road Ahead
The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) has redefined artificial intelligence (AI), pushing the boundaries of AI research and enabling unbounded possibilities for both academia and the industry. However, LLM development faces increasingly complex challenges throughout its lifecycle, yet no existing research systematically explores these challenges and solutions from the perspective of software engineering (SE) approaches. To fill the gap, we systematically analyze research status …

MoveScanner: Analysis of Security Risks of Move Smart Contracts
As blockchain technology continues to evolve, the security of smart contracts has increasingly drawn attention from both academia and industry. The Move language, with its unique resource model and linear type system, provides a solid foundation for the security of digital assets. However, smart contracts still face new security challenges due to developer programming errors and the potential risks associated with cross-module interactions. This paper systematically analyzes the limitations of …

Testing Is Not Boring: Characterizing Challenge in Software Testing Tasks
As software systems continue to grow in complexity, testing has become a fundamental part of ensuring the quality and reliability of software products. Yet, software testing is still often perceived, both in industry and academia, as a repetitive, low-skill activity. This perception fails to recognize the creativity, problem-solving, and adaptability required in testing work. Tasks such as designing complex test cases, automating testing processes, and handling shifting requirements illustrate …
