Personalized and Constructive Feedback for Computer Science Students Using the Large Language Model (LLM)

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 …

DriftBench: Defining and Generating Data and Query Workload Drift for Benchmarking
Data and workload drift are key to evaluating database components such as caching, cardinality estimation, indexing, and query optimization. Yet, existing benchmarks are static, offering little to no support for modeling drift. This limitation stems from the lack of clear definitions and tools for generating data and workload drift. Motivated by this gap, we propose a unified taxonomy for data and workload drift, grounded in observations from both academia and industry. Building on this foundat…

Sensitivity Analysis for Causal ML: A Use Case at Booking.com
Causal Machine Learning has emerged as a powerful tool for flexibly estimating causal effects from observational data in both industry and academia. However, causal inference from observational data relies on untestable assumptions about the data-generating process, such as the absence of unobserved confounders. When these assumptions are violated, causal effect estimates may become biased, undermining the validity of research findings. In these contexts, sensitivity analysis plays a crucial ro…

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…

BaseReward: A Strong Baseline for Multimodal Reward Model
The rapid advancement of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) has made aligning them with human preferences a critical challenge. Reward Models (RMs) are a core technology for achieving this goal, but a systematic guide for building state-of-the-art Multimodal Reward Models (MRMs) is currently lacking in both academia and industry. Through exhaustive experimental analysis, this paper aims to provide a clear ``recipe'' for constructing high-performance MRMs. We systematically investigate eve…

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…

Taming Serverless Cold Starts Through OS Co-Design
Serverless computing promises fine-grained elasticity and operational simplicity, fueling widespread interest from both industry and academia. Yet this promise is undercut by the cold setart problem, where invoking a function after a period of inactivity triggers costly initialization before any work can begin. Even with today's high-speed storage, the prevailing view is that achieving sub-millisecond cold starts requires keeping state resident in memory. This paper challenges that assumption…
