Formal Autograding in a Classroom (Experience Report)

Viktor Kuncak, Mario Bucev, Dragana Milovancevic, Samuel Chassot

We report our experience in enhancing automated grading in a functional programming course using formal verification. In our approach, we deploy a verifier for Scala programs to check equivalences between student submissions and reference solutions. Conseq ...

When Subtyping Constraints Liberate A Novel Type Inference Approach for First-Class Polymorphism

Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux, Aleksander Slawomir Boruch-Gruszecki

Type inference in the presence of first-class or "impredicative" second-order polymorphism a la System F has been an active research area for several decades, with original works dating back to the end of the 80s. Yet, until now many basic problems remain ...

Scaling Language Features for Program Verification

Georg Stefan Schmid

Formal verification of real-world software systems remains challenging for a number of reasons, including lack of automation, friction in specifying properties, and limited support for the diverse programming paradigms used in industry. In this thesis we m ...

CovNet: Covariance networks for functional data on multidimensional domains

Victor Panaretos, Soham Sarkar

Covariance estimation is ubiquitous in functional data analysis. Yet, the case of functional observations over multidimensional domains introduces computational and statistical challenges, rendering the standard methods effectively inapplicable. To address ...

Stoic: Towards Disciplined Capabilities

Martin Odersky, Nada Amin, Fengyun Liu, Sandro Stucki, Paolo Giosuè Giarrusso

Capabilities are widely used in the design of software systems to ensure security. A system of capabilities can become a mess in the presence of objects and functions: objects may leak capabilities and functions may capture capabilities. They make reasonin ...

Grammatical models which represent the hierarchical structure of chord sequences have proven very useful in recent analyses of Jazz harmony. A critical resource for building and evaluating such models is a ground-truth database of syntax trees that encode ...

ISMIR2020

Advances in data acquisition technologies and supercomputing for large-scale simulations have led to an exponential growth in the volume of spatial data. This growth is accompanied by an increase in data complexity, such as spatial density, but also by mor ...

A Programming Model and Foundation for Lineage-Based Distributed Computation

Philipp Haller

The most successful systems for "big data'' processing have all adopted functional APIs. We present a new programming model we call function passing designed to provide a more principled substrate, or middleware, upon which to build data-centric distribute ...

Compilation and Code Optimization for Data Analytics

Amir Shaikhha

The trade-offs between the use of modern high-level and low-level programming languages in constructing complex software artifacts are well known. High-level languages allow for greater programmer productivity: abstraction and genericity allow for the same ...

Object-Oriented Recovery for Non-volatile Memory

James Richard Larus, David Teksen Aksun, Nachshon Cohen

New non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies enable direct, durable storage of data in an application's heap. Durable, randomly accessible memory facilitates the construction of applications that do not lose data at system shutdown or power failure. Existing ...
