Zhang, Kaixuan (author), Shi, Zhaochen (author), Zujovic, Jana (author), de Ridder, H. (author), van Egmond, R. (author), Neuhoff, David L. (author), Pappas, T. (author)We present a systematic approach for training and testing structural texture similarity metrics (STSIMs) so that they can be used to exploit texture redundancy for structurally lossless image compression. The training and testing is based on a set of image distortions that reflect the characteristics of the perturbations present in natural...journal article 2024

Khatami, Ali (author), Zaidman, A.E. (author)To ensure the quality of software systems, software engineers can make use of a variety of quality assurance approaches, for example, software testing, modern code review, automated static analysis, and build automation. Each of these quality assurance practices have been studied in depth in isolation, but there is a clear knowledge gap when...journal article 2024

Cambaz, Doga (author), Zhang, X. (author)The recent emergence of LLM-based code generation models can potentially transform programming education. To pinpoint the current state of research on using LLM-based code generators to support the teaching and learning of programming, we conducted a systematic literature review of 21 papers published since 2018. The review focuses on (1) the...conference paper 2024

Dönszelmann, Jonathan (author)Programmers spend significantly more time trying to comprehend existing code than writing new code. They gain an understanding of the code by navigating the code base in an IDE, by reading documentation online, and by browsing code repositories on websites such as GitHub. To create rich experiences for programming languages across those various...master thesis 2023

ZHU, LEXI (author)Doppler ultrasound imaging of cerebral blood flow faces challenges arising from a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and a wide dynamic range. Echo signals received from blood cells are significantly weaker compared to surrounding tissues, such as the skull or brain soft tissue, resulting in inhibited visualization of small blood vessels and deep...master thesis 2023

Georgescu, Calin (author)Kotlin is a programming language best known for its interoperability with Java, as well as the measurable improvements it offers over it. Since it became Android’s go-to language in 2019, the popularity and impact of Kotlin have risen greatly. Amidst this surge in popularity, the Kotlin developer team is working on a new version of the compiler...master thesis 2023

de Jong, Jochem (author)Every day an extremely large amount of messages get sent over the internet, radio, WiFi, etc. These messages need to be encoded in order to protect the important data. However just like many of these systems messages can get corrupted over a certain channel due to noise, fluctuations in power or temperature etc. [2] Therefore cyclic redundancy...bachelor thesis 2023

de Nijs, Joost (author)The rotational velocities of stars in galaxies indicate that either Newtonian gravity breaks down on this scale, or that there is extra mass in the universe that has not been observed. The former is known as Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), whereas the latter option is known as the dark matter paradigm. In this thesis a version of MOND is...bachelor thesis 2023

Ladd, Jude (author)The world can’t keep up with its own data and therefore needs new ways to store it. Research is being done into new types of experimental data storage like DNA sampling or racetrack memory, which could completely revolutionize the way storage works. However, such storage media are prone to certain type of errors like deletion errors where...bachelor thesis 2023
