An Analysis of the Search Spaces for Generate and Validate Patch Generation Systems

An Analysis of the Search Spaces for Generate and Validate Patch Generation Systems Long, Fan; Rinard, Martin We present the first systematic analysis of the characteristics of patch search spaces for automatic patch generation systems. We analyze the search spaces of two current state-of- the-art systems, SPR and Prophet, with 16 different search space configurations. Our results are derived from an analysis of 1104 different search spaces and 768 patch generation executions. Together these experiments consumed over 9000 hours of CPU time on Amazon EC2.The analysis shows that 1) correct patches are sparse in the search spaces (typically at most one correct patch per search space per defect), 2) incorrect patches that nevertheless pass all of the test cases in the validation test suite are typically orders of magnitude more abundant, and 3) leveraging information other than the test suite is therefore critical for enabling the system to successfully isolate correct patches.We also characterize a key tradeoff in the structure of the search spaces. Larger and richer search spaces that contain correct patches for more defects can actually cause systems to find fewer, not more, correct patches. We identify two reasons for this phenomenon: 1) increased validation times because of the presence of more candidate patches and 2) more incorrect patches that pass the test suite and block the discovery of correct patches. These fundamental properties, which are all characterized for the first time in this paper, help explain why past systems often fail to generate correct patches and help identify challenges, opportunities, and productive future directions for the field.

Outlier Detection in Heterogeneous Datasets using Automatic Tuple Expansion

Outlier Detection in Heterogeneous Datasets using Automatic Tuple Expansion Pit--Claudel, Clément; Mariet, Zelda; Harding, Rachael; Madden, Sam Rapidly developing areas of information technology are generating massive amounts of data. Human errors, sensor failures, and other unforeseen circumstances unfortunately tend to undermine the quality and consistency of these datasets by introducing outliers -- data points that exhibit surprising behavior when compared to the rest of the data. Characterizing, locating, and in some cases eliminating these outliers offers interesting insight about the data under scrutiny and reinforces the confidence that one may have in conclusions drawn from otherwise noisy datasets. In this paper, we describe a tuple expansion procedure which reconstructs rich information from semantically poor SQL data types such as strings, integers, and floating point numbers. We then use this procedure as the foundation of a new user-guided outlier detection framework, dBoost, which relies on inference and statistical modeling of heterogeneous data to flag suspicious fields in database tuples. We show that this novel approach achieves good classification performance, both in traditional numerical datasets and in highly non-numerical contexts such as mostly textual datasets. Our implementation is publicly available, under version 3 of the GNU General Public License.

3D Body Scanning for Product Design

3D Body Scanning for Product Design Ball, Roger The human body has complex spatial relationships with consumer products. Products that fit the human body must fit well to deliver performance, comfort, and overall user safety. Yet, body shape and measurements vary significantly by gender, ethnicity and age. Traditional methods of acquiring measurements are time consuming, subject to human error and poorly integrated with current best practices in product design. Similarly, traditional prototyping methods using clay, wood and foam are time and labor intensive making them out of synch with the fast paced iterative process used when designing body fit products. In 2005 The Asian Ergonomic Lab (AEL) in the School of Design in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University began working with digital technologies to try and solve some of the many problems of fit, sizing and shape that have bedeviled design practice since the beginning. The Scan&Print method uses the technologies of 3D body scanning, CAD software and 3D printing to create body fitting products with improved fit within a reduced time. This method is now taught as a part of the undergraduate curriculum ID 4061 – Designing for the Human Body in the Industrial Design Dept at Georgia Tech where there is an emphasis on leveraging technology with design innovation. The Scan&Print method reduces development time, improves fit and creates new types of forms for body fitting products. The near future may see further applications where the whole process of scanning, designing and manufacturing customized products for human body becomes tightly integrated, intuitive and automated. Presented on January 28, 2016 from 11:00 am to 12:00 noon in the Georgia Tech Architecture Library; Dr. Roger Ball, formerly the Endowed Professor of Asian Ergonomics at the Hong Kong Polytechnic, is the Associate Chair in the School of Industrial Design at Georgia Tech.; Runtime: 54:13 minutes

Towards an Integrated Architecture for Open-World Human-Robot Interactions

Towards an Integrated Architecture for Open-World Human-Robot Interactions Scheutz, Matthias “Open-world” human-robot interactions differ significantly from “closed-world” human-robot interactions because not all task-relevant information is available at the beginning of the interaction in the former (while it is in the latter). As a result, robots need to be able to acquire new knowledge online during task execution in open-world scenarios, which requires additional functionality in the cognitive robotic architecture to deal with unknown entities (such as words, objects, locations, actions, events, goals, etc.). In this presentation, I will provide an overview of our recent efforts towards developing an integrated architecture for open-world HRI and demonstrate some of the novel algorithms using videos from human-robot interaction scenarios. Presented on January 27, 2016 at 12:00 p.m. in the Molecular Science and Engineering Building, room G011.; Matthias Scheutz is a professor in Cognitive and Computer Science in the Department of Computer Science, an adjunct professor in the Department of Psychology, and the Bernard M. Gordon Senior Faculty Fellow in Engineering at Tufts University. As director of the Human-Robot Interaction Laboratory at Tufts, his current research focuses on complex cognitive and affective robots with natural language capabilities for natural human-robot interaction.; Rumtime: 50:10 minutes
