GitHub natively supports workflow automation through GitHub Actions. Yet, workflow maintenance is often considered a burden for software developers, who frequently face difficulties in writing, testing, debugging, and maintaining workflows.…
Reproducibility and sustainability present significant challenges in bioinformatics software development, where rapidly evolving tools and complex workflows often result in short-lived or difficult-to-adapt pipelines. This paper introduces…
Computational reproducibility of scientific results, that is, the execution of a computational experiment (e.g., a script) using its original settings (data, code, etc.), should always be possible. However, reproducibility has become a…
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…
Visual reasoning (VR), which is crucial in many fields for enabling human-like visual understanding, remains highly challenging. Recently, compositional visual reasoning approaches, which leverage the reasoning abilities of large language…
Workflows are a fundamental component of automation in enterprise platforms, enabling the orchestration of tasks, data processing, and system integrations. Despite being widely used, building workflows can be complex, often requiring manual…
In recent years there has been widespread concern in the scientific community over a reproducibility crisis. Among the major causes that have been identified is statistical: In many scientific research the statistical analysis (including…
User simulation is a valuable methodology for evaluation in Information Retrieval (IR), enabling low-cost experimentation and counterfactual analysis. However, existing simulation frameworks are primarily code-centric libraries that require…
Despite recent advancements in Instruct-based Image Editing models for generating high-quality images, they are known as black boxes and a significant barrier to transparency and user trust. To solve this issue, we introduce SMILE…
Large language models (LLMs) offer significant potential to accelerate systematic literature reviews (SLRs), yet current approaches often rely on brittle, manually crafted prompts that compromise reliability and reproducibility. This…
Scientific advancement relies on the ability to share and reproduce results. When data analysis or calculations are carried out using software written by scientists there are special challenges around code versions, quality and code…
This technical note presents a reproducible workflow for converting a legacy archaeological image collection into a structured and segmentation ready dataset. The case study focuses on the Lower Palaeolithic hand axe and biface collection…
This study introduces a human-in-the-loop pipeline that converts unscaled, hand-drawn floor plan sketches into semantically consistent 3D BIM models. The workflow leverages multimodal large language models (MLLMs) within a multi-agent…
Prior methods for controlling image generation are limited in their ability to be taught new tasks. In contrast, vision-language models, or VLMs, can learn tasks in-context and produce the correct outputs for a given input. We propose a…
Authoring survey or review articles still requires significant tedious manual effort, despite many advancements in research knowledge management having the potential to improve efficiency, reproducibility, and reuse. However, these…
Realistic image manipulation is challenging because it requires modifying the image appearance in a user-controlled way, while preserving the realism of the result. Unless the user has considerable artistic skill, it is easy to "fall off"…
With the increase in scale and availability of digital text generated on the web, enterprises such as online retailers and aggregators often use text analytics to mine and analyze the data to improve their services and products alike. Text…
The SignWriting improved fast transcriber (SWift), presented in this paper, is an advanced editor for computer-aided writing and transcribing of any Sign Language (SL) using SignWriting (SW). The application is an editor which allows…
Pattern images are everywhere in the digital and physical worlds, and tools to edit them are valuable. But editing pattern images is tricky: desired edits are often programmatic: structure-aware edits that alter the underlying program which…
Image-guided drawing can compensate for the lack of skills but often requires a significant number of repetitive strokes to create textures. Existing automatic stroke synthesis methods are usually limited to predefined styles or require…
