Graph Chatbot

Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

A Comparative Analysis of Tools & Task Types for Measuring Computational Problem-Solving

Richard Lee Davis, Engin Walter Bumbacher, Jérôme Guillaume Brender

How to measure students' Computational Problem-Solving (CPS) competencies is an ongoing research topic. Prevalent approaches vary by measurement tools (e.g., interactive programming, multiple-choice tests, or programming-independent tests) and task types ( ...

To Infinity, and Beyond (Coverage)

Ahmad Hazimeh

The pursuit of software security and reliability hinges on the identification and elimination of software vulnerabilities, a challenge compounded by the vast and evolving complexity of modern systems. Fuzzing has emerged as an indispensable technique for b ...

Immediate Tracing

Valentin Aebi

This semester project report describes a prototype tracing tool that records the behavior of a Java program during its execution. It explains the two methods that were attempted to implement the tool, one using the Java debug interface, which gave poor res ...

Performance Interfaces for Network Functions

George Candea, Rishabh Ramesh Iyer

Modern programmers routinely use third-party code, and infrastructure operators deploy software they did not write. This would not be possible without semantic interfaces---documentation, header files, specifications---that succinctly describe what that th ...

Boosting Efficiency of External Pipelines by Blurring Application Boundaries

Anastasia Ailamaki, Periklis Chrysogelos, Anna Patricia Herlihy

Modern application development addresses increasingly specialized problems using domain-specific utilities, such as Optical Code Recognition and standalone statistical tools. The diversity of tooling, combined with the ever-growing volume of data, requires ...

Seed Selection for Successful Fuzzing

Mathias Josef Payer

Mutation-based greybox fuzzing-unquestionably the most widely-used fuzzing technique-relies on a set of non-crashing seed inputs (a corpus) to bootstrap the bug-finding process. When evaluating a fuzzer, common approaches for constructing this corpus inclu ...

Distributed Momentum for Byzantine-resilient Stochastic Gradient Descent

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Sébastien Louis Alexandre Rouault

Byzantine-resilient Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) aims at shielding model training from Byzantine faults, be they ill-labeled training datapoints, exploited software/hardware vulnerabilities, or malicious worker nodes in a distributed setting. Two rece ...

FuZZan: Efficient Sanitizer Metadata Design for Fuzzing

Mathias Josef Payer

Fuzzing is one of the most popular and effective techniques for finding software bugs. To detect triggered bugs, fuzzers leverage a variety of sanitizers in practice. Unfortunately, sanitizers target long running experiments-e.g., developer test suites-not ...

Computer Algebraic Approach to Verification and Debugging of Galois Field Multipliers

Cunxi Yu, Maciej Jerzy Ciesielski

The paper presents a novel method to verify and debug gate-level arithmetic circuits implemented in Galois Field arithmetic. The method is based on forward reduction of the specification polynomials of the circuit in GF(2(m)) using GF(2) models of its logi ...

Decrypting Local Type Inference

Hubert Plociniczak

Statically typed languages verify programs at compile-time. As a result many programming mistakes are detected at an early stage of development. A programmer does not have to specify types for every single term manually, however. Many programming languages ...
