Video editing aims to modify input videos according to user intent. Recently, end-to-end training methods have garnered widespread attention, constructing paired video editing data through video generation or editing models. However,…

Comment updating is an emerging task in software evolution that aims to automatically revise source code comments in accordance with code changes. This task plays a vital role in maintaining code-comment consistency throughout software…

Understanding the behavior of software in execution is a key step in identifying and fixing performance issues. This is especially important in high performance computing contexts where even minor performance tweaks can translate into large…

Online services are commonly implemented with a scalable microservice architecture, where isomorphic workers process client requests, recording persistent state in a backend data store. To maintain service, modifications to service…

Context: Refactoring is the art of modifying the design of a system without altering its behavior. The idea is to reorganize variables, classes and methods to facilitate their future adaptations and comprehension. As the concept of behavior…

Organizations that develop software have recognized that software process models are particularly useful for maintaining a high standard of quality. In the last decade, simulations of software processes were used in several settings and…

Text-based image editing is typically approached as a static task that involves operations such as inserting, deleting, or modifying elements of an input image based on human instructions. Given the static nature of this task, in this…

When a model makes a consequential decision, e.g., denying someone a loan, it needs to additionally generate actionable, realistic feedback on what the person can do to favorably change the decision. We cast this problem through the lens of…

Human-centred systems require an understanding of human actions in the physical world. Temporally extended sequences of actions are intentional and structured, yet existing methods for recognising what actions are performed often do not…

This research note combines two methods that have recently improved the state of the art in language modeling: Transformers and dynamic evaluation. Transformers use stacked layers of self-attention that allow them to capture long range…

Because spreadsheets have a large and growing importance in real-world work, their contents need to be controlled and validated. Generally spreadsheets have been difficult to verify, since data and executable information are stored…

With the development of the networks and the Internet, the problems of automated deployment on broad scale became increasingly crucial. Software deployment is a complex process covering several activities going from the configuration to the…

Traditionally, when the code of a database management system (DBMS) needs to be updated, the system is restarted and database clients suffer downtime, or the provider instantiates hot-standby instances and rolls over the workload. We…

We describe a system that simplifies the process of debugging programs produced by computer-aided parallelization tools. The system uses relative debugging techniques to compare serial and parallel executions in order to show where the…

To enhance documentation and maintenance practices, developers conventionally establish links between related software artifacts manually. Empirical research has revealed that developers frequently overlook this practice, resulting in…

Schema change is an unsolved problem in both live programming and local-first software. We include in schema change any change to the expected shape of data, whether that is expressed explicitly in a database schema or type system, or…

There is a vast gap in the quality of IDE tooling between static languages like Java and dynamic languages like Python or JavaScript. Modern frameworks and libraries in these languages heavily use their dynamic capabilities to achieve the…

The process of data analysis, especially in GUI-based analytics systems, is highly exploratory. The user iteratively refines a workflow multiple times before arriving at the final workflow. In such an exploratory setting, it is valuable to…

Sketch editing requires jointly handling high-level semantic changes and precise local redrawing, a combination that is particularly challenging for sparse, style-sensitive line art. Unlike natural images, sketches rely on minimal visual…

Since decade understanding of programs has become a compulsory task for the students as well as for others who are involved in the process of developing software and providing solutions to open problems. In that aspect showing the problem…
