Resilient Pattern Mining
Frequent pattern mining is a flagship problem in data mining. In its most basic form, it asks for the set of substrings of a given string $S$ of length $n$ that occur at least $τ$ times in $S$, for some integer $τ\in[1,n]$. We introduce a resilient version of this classic problem, which we term the $(τ, k)$-Resilient Pattern Mining (RPM) problem. Given a string $S$ of length $n$ and two integers $τ, k\in[1,n]$, RPM asks for the set of substrings of $S$ that occur at least $τ$ times in $S$,…

Multi-Language Detection of Design Pattern Instances
Code comprehension is often supported by source code analysis tools which provide more abstract views over software systems, such as those detecting design patterns. These tools encompass analysis of source code and ensuing extraction of relevant information. However, the analysis of the source code is often specific to the target programming language. We propose DP-LARA, a multi-language pattern detection tool that uses the multi-language capability of the LARA framework to support finding p…

“As design ethicist Aral Balkan explains: ‘Dark patterns might boost short-term metrics, but they ultimately corrode trust and damage brand reputation. Ethical design creates sustainable relationships rather than one-time transactions.’”

The lack of history education shows when you hear people about current times, ofcourse history never repeats itself exactly, but many of the same patterns and mechanisms we have seen in fascism and autocracy are visible. Read some history be less amazed and better prepared.

Velocity-modulated drag-trapping of nanoparticles by moving fringe pattern in hollow-core fiber
We report optical trapping and transport at atmospheric pressure of nanoparticles in a moving interference pattern in hollow-core photonic crystal fiber. Unlike in previous work at low pressure, when the viscous drag forces are weak and the particles travel at the fringe velocity, competition between trapping and drag forces causes the particle velocity to oscillate as it is momentarily captured and accelerated by each passing fringe, followed by release and deceleration by viscous forces. As a…
