Code commits in a version control system (e.g., Git) should be atomic, i.e., focused on a single goal, such as adding a feature or fixing a bug. In practice, however, developers often bundle multiple concerns into tangled commits, obscuring…

Large Language Models (LLMs) have become powerful tools for annotating unstructured data. However, most existing workflows rely on ad hoc scripts, making reproducibility, robustness, and systematic evaluation difficult. To address these…

Over the past few decades, a vast amount of information on the structure of atomic nuclei has been collected, compiled, and evaluated. Accurate and reliable data are essential for the understanding of the behavior of atomic nuclei.…

Nowadays, the interest given by the scientific community to the investigation of the data generated by social networks is increasing as much as the exponential increasing of social network data. The data structure complexity is one among…

Almost every Mining Software Repositories (MSR) study requires, as first step, the selection of the subject software repositories. These repositories are usually collected from hosting services like GitHub using specific selection criteria…

We introduce VLM-Lens, a toolkit designed to enable systematic benchmarking, analysis, and interpretation of vision-language models (VLMs) by supporting the extraction of intermediate outputs from any layer during the forward pass of…

Tenuous subgraph finding aims to detect a subgraph with few social interactions and weak relationships among nodes. Despite significant efforts have been made on this task, they are mostly carried out in view of graph-structured data. These…

Audit trails are evidential indications of activities performers in any logs. Modern reactive systems such as transaction processing systems, management information systems, decision support systems and even executive management systems log…

Open-Source Projects and Libraries are being used in software development while also bearing multiple security vulnerabilities. This use of third party ecosystem creates a new kind of attack surface for a product in development. An…

GitHub's issue reports provide developers with valuable information that is essential to the evolution of a software development project. Contributors can use these reports to perform software engineering tasks like submitting bugs,…

Generative models have demonstrated remarkable potential in time series analysis tasks, like synthesis, forecasting, imputation, etc. However, offering limited coverage for generative models, existing time series libraries are mainly…

Data exploration is an important step of every data science and machine learning project, including those involving textual data. We provide a novel language tool, in the form of a publicly available Python library for extracting patterns…

Software ecosystems have had a tremendous impact on computing and society, capturing the attention of businesses, researchers, and policy makers alike. Massive ecosystems like the JavaScript node package manager (npm) is evidence of how…

We present CitNetExplorer, a new software tool for analyzing and visualizing citation networks of scientific publications. CitNetExplorer can for instance be used to study the development of a research field, to delineate the literature on…

Practitioners are poorly supported by the scientific literature when managing traceability information models (TIMs), which capture the structure and semantics of trace links. In practice, companies manage their TIMs in very different ways,…

Technical debt (TD) refers to delayed tasks and immature artifacts that may bring short-term benefits but incur extra costs of change during maintenance and evolution in the long term. TD has been extensively studied in the past decade, and…

We report our design, development, installation and troubleshooting of an open source Gnome X Scanning Microscopy (GXSM) software package for controlling and processing of modern Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) system as a development tool…

Scientific software is one of the key elements for reproducible research. However, classic publications and related scientific software are typically not (sufficiently) linked, and it lacks tools to jointly explore these artefacts. In this…

Even though numerous researchers require stable datasets along with source code and basic metrics calculated on them, neither GitHub nor any other code hosting platform provides such a resource. Consequently, each researcher must download…

Git has become one of the most widely used version control systems today. Among its distinguishing features, its ability to easily and quickly create branches stands out, allowing teams to customize their workflows. In this context, various…
