Abstract—Key program interfaces are sometimes documented with usage examples: concrete code snippets that characterize common use cases for a particular data type. While such doc...
—Large frameworks and libraries require extensive developer learning resources, such as documentation and mailing lists, to be useful. Maintaining these learning resources is cha...
—To survive and succeed, software projects need to attract and retain contributors. We model the individual’s chances to become a valuable contributor through her capacity, wil...
—At ICSE 2010, the Code Bubbles team from Brown University and the Code Canvas team from Microsoft Research presented similar ideas for new user experiences for an integrated dev...

— This paper addresses the problem of large-scale image search. Three constraints have to be taken into account: search accuracy, efficiency, and memory usage. We first present...
— Language and image understanding are two major goals of artificial intelligence which can both be conceptually formulated in terms of parsing the input signal into a hierarchi...

Binary descriptors are becoming increasingly popular as a means to compare feature points very fast and while requiring comparatively small amounts of memory. The typical approach...
—In this paper, we present a novel image classification system that is built around a core of trainable filter ensembles that we call Volterra kernel classifiers. Our system trea...
