Today, I'm at Bundesarchiv in Koblenz for the Strategy & Planning meeting of our project "Wiedergutmachung". Our task in this project is to develop efficient information extraction from historical case files of the German Postwar recompensation process of nationalsocialist injustice.

Don't threaten me with a good time.
En o ja, Dilan ... GL-PvdA was toch de partij die zover van de rest afstond? Of zit het echte gat soms tussen CDA en VVD?

Software Defect Prediction using Autoencoder Transformer Model
An AI-ML-powered quality engineering approach uses AI-ML to enhance software quality assessments by predicting defects. Existing ML models struggle with noisy data types, imbalances, pattern recognition, feature extraction, and generalization. To address these challenges, we develop a new model, Adaptive Differential Evolution (ADE) based Quantum Variational Autoencoder-Transformer (QVAET) Model (ADE-QVAET). ADE combines with QVAET to obtain high-dimensional latent features and maintain sequent…

Took the family to see Erasure's Andy Bell in Hollywood last night.
Poor kid's been dragged to OMD, Howard Jones & ABC so far...
...but his ol' man did also get the family box seats to the "AJR" concert for him, so he's got nothing to complain about. 😌

Defects4C: Benchmarking Large Language Model Repair Capability with C/C++ Bugs
Automated Program Repair (APR) plays a critical role in enhancing the quality and reliability of software systems. While substantial progress has been made in Java-based APR, largely facilitated by benchmarks like Defects4J, there remains a significant gap in research on C/C++ program repair, despite the widespread use of C/C++ and the prevalence of associated vulnerabilities. This gap is primarily due to the lack of high-quality, open-source benchmarks tailored for C/C++. To address this iss…
