Choreographies are global descriptions of interactions among concurrent components, most notably used in the settings of verification and synthesis of correct-by-construction software. They require a top-down approach: programmers first…
We describe results on the creation and use of synthetic data that were derived in the context of a project to make synthetic extracts available for users of the UK Longitudinal Studies. A critical review of existing methods of inference…
Technological advancement has led to improvement in the design capabilities of astronomical spectrographs, allowing for high precision spectroscopy, thereby expanding the realms of observational astronomy. High-resolution spectrographs use…
Radiological images, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) images, typically consist of a body part and a dark background. For many analyses, it is necessary to separate the body part from the background. In…
Pattern analysis often requires a pre-processing stage for extracting or selecting features in order to help the classification, prediction, or clustering stage discriminate or represent the data in a better way. The reason for this…
The increased interest in deep learning applications, and their hard-to-detect biases result in the need to validate and explain complex models. However, current explanation methods are limited as far as both the explanation of the…
This tutorial provides a comprehensive and in-depth view of the research on procedures, primarily in Natural Language Processing. A procedure is a sequence of steps intended to achieve some goal. Understanding procedures in natural language…
The primary motivation of much of software analytics is decision making. How to make these decisions? Should one make decisions based on lessons that arise from within a particular project? Or should one generate these decisions from across…
Fine-tuning a pretrained BERT model is the state of the art method for extractive/abstractive text summarization, in this paper we showcase how this fine-tuning method can be applied to the Arabic language to both construct the first…
We present exact analytic formulae for the eclipse of a star described by quadratic or nonlinear limb darkening. In the limit that the planet radius is less than a tenth of the stellar radius, we show that the exact lightcurve can be well…
We study the theoretical and practical aspects of computing braids described by approximate descriptions of paths in the plane. Exact algorithms rely on the lexicographic ordering of the points in the plane, which is unstable under…
Natural language instructions are a powerful interface for editing the outputs of text-to-image diffusion models. However, several challenges need to be addressed: 1) underspecification (the need to model the implicit meaning of…
We introduce pymovements: a Python package for analyzing eye-tracking data that follows best practices in software development, including rigorous testing and adherence to coding standards. The package provides functionality for key…
We propose a methodology to improve figures from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), ensuring that all modifications remain scientifically rigorous. IPCC figures are notoriously difficult to understand, and although…
Formalism for radiative correction (RC) calculation in exclusive pion electroproduction on the proton is presented. A FORTRAN code EXCLURAD is developed for the RC procedure. The numerical analysis is done in the kinematics of current…
The analysis of meteor spectra (photographic, CCD or video recording) is complicated by the fact that spectra obtained with objective gratings are curved and have a nonlinear dispersion. In this paper it is shown that with a simple image…
Modern-day time-domain photometric surveys collect a lot of observations of various astronomical objects and the coming era of large-scale surveys will provide even more information on their properties. Spectroscopic follow-ups are…
We present a new Python pipeline for processing data from astronomical long-slit spectroscopy observations recorded with CCD detectors. The pipeline is designed to aim for simplicity, manual execution, transparency and robustness. The goal…
Microlensing light curves are typically computed either by ray-shooting maps or by contour integration via Green's theorem. We present an improved version of the second method that includes a parabolic correction in Green's line integral.…
We describe the Blacklight code, intended for post-processing general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulation data. Beyond polarized ray tracing of synchrotron radiation, it can produce a number of outputs that aid in analyzing data…
