Verification of software systems is a very hard problem due to the large size of program state-space. The traditional techniques (like model checking) do not scale; since they include the whole state-space by inlining the library function…

Quality-sensitive applications of machine learning (ML) require quality assurance (QA) by humans before the predictions of an ML model can be deployed. QA for ML (QA4ML) interfaces require users to view a large amount of data and perform…
Roughening of interfaces implies the divergence of the interface width $w$ with the system size $L$. For two-dimensional systems the divergence of $w^2$ is linear in $L$. In the framework of a detailed capillary wave approximation and of…
