The recent advancements in Transformer-based Language Models have demonstrated significant potential in enhancing the multilingual capabilities of these models. The remarkable progress made in this domain not only applies to natural…

I have merged the lecture notes (in french) of two 24 hour courses I taught at the university Pierre-et-Marie Curie (Paris 6) during the first semester of the academic year 2013-2014. The first one was devoted to the general material that…

This is a set of lecture notes used in a graduate topic class in applied mathematics called ``Quantum Algorithms for Scientific Computation'' at the Department of Mathematics, UC Berkeley during the fall semester of 2021. These lecture…

In an era of widespread influence of Natural Language Processing (NLP), there have been multiple research efforts to supplant traditional manual coding techniques with automated systems capable of generating solutions autonomously. With…

PLACES 2017 (full title: Programming Language Approaches to Concurrency- and Communication-cEntric Software) is the tenth edition of the PLACES workshop series. After the first PLACES, which was affiliated to DisCoTec in 2008, the workshop…

Short abstracts by computational linguistics researchers at the University of Pennsylvania describing ongoing individual and joint projects.

I developed the lecture notes based on my ``Linear Model'' course at the University of California, Berkeley over the past ten years. This book provides an intermediate-level introduction to the linear model. It balances rigorous proofs and…

Modern hardware platforms, from the very small to the very large, increasingly provide parallel and distributed computing resources for applications to maximise performance. Many applications therefore need to make effective use of tens,…

This volume contains the proceedings of PLACES 2024, the 15th edition of the Workshop on Programming Language Approaches to Concurrency and Communication-cEntric Software. The PLACES workshop series offers a forum for researchers from…

These lecture notes provide an introduction to quantum information and quantum computation, which are strongly related disciplines and subject of intense research. The lecture notes contain only a small selection of topics in these…

Measuring plagiarism in programming assignments is an essential task to the educational procedure. This paper discusses the methods of plagiarism and its detection in introductory programming course assignments written in C++. A small…

These lecture notes have been converted to a book titled Network Information Theory published recently by Cambridge University Press. This book provides a significantly expanded exposition of the material in the lecture notes as well as…

In this paper, we explore the application of large language models (LLMs) for generating code-tracing questions in introductory programming courses. We designed targeted prompts for GPT4, guiding it to generate code-tracing questions based…

Concurrent computations resemble conversations. In a conversation, participants direct utterances at others and, as the conversation evolves, exploit the known common context to advance the conversation. Similarly, collaborating software…

Comparison of programming languages is a common topic of discussion among software engineers. Few languages ever become sufficiently popular that they are used by more than a few people or find their niche in research or education; but…

Here I share a few notes I used in various course lectures, talks, etc. Some may be just calculations that in the textbooks are more complicated, scattered, or less specific; others may be simple observations I found useful or curious.

In this paper we propose a new approach to the description of a network of interacting processes in a traditional programming language. Special programming languages or extensions to sequential languages are usually designed to express the…
