On the Need to Monitor Continuous Integration Practices -- An Empirical Study
Continuous Integration (CI) encompasses a set of widely adopted practices that enhance software development. However, there are indications that developers may not adequately monitor CI practices. Hence, this paper explores developers' perceptions regarding the monitoring CI practices. To achieve this, we first perform a Document Analysis to assess developers' expressed need for practice monitoring in pull requests comments generated by developers during the development process. After that, we …

Unprecedented wealth concentration
– and the unbridled power that comes with such wealth
– has distorted our democracy and is driving societal and economic tensions.
Musk, the world’s richest man, wields power no one person should have.
He has used this power to elect candidates that will enact policies to protect his interests and he even bought his way into government.
While at the helm of Doge, Musk dramatically reshaped the government in ways that benefit him…

Position: Evaluating Generative AI Systems Is a Social Science Measurement Challenge
The measurement tasks involved in evaluating generative AI (GenAI) systems lack sufficient scientific rigor, leading to what has been described as "a tangle of sloppy tests [and] apples-to-oranges comparisons" (Roose, 2024). In this position paper, we argue that the ML community would benefit from learning from and drawing on the social sciences when developing and using measurement instruments for evaluating GenAI systems. Specifically, our position is that evaluating GenAI systems is a social…

A Closer Look into Transformer-Based Code Intelligence Through Code Transformation: Challenges and Opportunities
Transformer-based models have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance in many intelligent coding tasks such as code comment generation and code completion. Previous studies show that deep learning models are sensitive to the input variations, but few studies have systematically studied the robustness of Transformer under perturbed input code. In this work, we empirically study the effect of semantic-preserving code transformation on the performance of Transformer. Specifically, 24 and 27 code…
