Bug Classification in Quantum Software: A Rule-Based Framework and Its Evaluation
Accurate classification of software bugs is essential for improving software quality. This paper presents a rule-based automated framework for classifying issues in quantum software repositories by bug type, category, severity, and impacted quality attributes, with additional focus on quantum-specific bug types. The framework applies keyword and heuristic-based techniques tailored to quantum computing. To assess its reliability, we manually classified a stratified sample of 4,984 issues from a …

The Iris File Extension
A modern digital pathology vendor-agnostic binary slide format specifically targeting the unmet need of efficient real-time transfer and display has not yet been established. Growing adoption of digital pathology only intensifies the need for an intermediary digital slide format with an emphasis on performance for use between slide servers and image management software or for inter-institutional transmission of cases. Although the DICOM standard is a well-established format widely used for long…

EditInspector: A Benchmark for Evaluation of Text-Guided Image Edits
Text-guided image editing, fueled by recent advancements in generative AI, is becoming increasingly widespread. This trend highlights the need for a comprehensive framework to verify text-guided edits and assess their quality. To address this need, we introduce EditInspector, a novel benchmark for evaluation of text-guided image edits, based on human annotations collected using an extensive template for edit verification. We leverage EditInspector to evaluate the performance of state-of-the-art…
