Automated Machine Learning aka AutoML toolkits are low/no-code software that aim to democratize ML system application development by ensuring rapid prototyping of ML models and by enabling collaboration across different stakeholders in ML system design (e.g., domain experts, data scientists, etc.). It is thus important to know the state of current...

Sentiment detection in software engineering (SE) has shown promise to support diverse development activities. However, given the diversity of SE platforms, SE-specific sentiment detection tools may suffer in performance in cross-platform settings. Recently deep learning (DL)-based SE-specific sentiment detection tools are found to offer superior pe...

Low-code software development (LCSD) is an emerging approach to democratize application development for software practitioners from diverse backgrounds. LCSD platforms promote rapid application development with a drag-and-drop interface and minimal programming by hand. As it is a relatively new paradigm, it is vital to study developers’ difficultie...

As big data grows ubiquitous across many domains, more and more stakeholders seek to develop Machine Learning (ML) applications on their data. The success of an ML application usually depends on the close collaboration of ML experts and domain experts. However, the shortage of ML engineers remains a fundamental problem. Low-code Machine learning to...

We as software developers or researchers very often get stacktrace error messages while we are trying to write some code or install some packages. Many times these error messages are very obscure and verbose; do not make much sense to us. There is a good chance that someone else has also faced similar issues probably shared similar stacktrace in va...

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) has become the de facto communication protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart wearable devices for its ultra-low energy consumption, ease of development, good enough network coverage, and data transfer speed. Due to the simplified design of this protocol, there have been lots of security and privacy vulnerabil...

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended wearing face masks as one of the most effective measures to prevent COVID-19 transmission. In many countries, it is now mandatory to wear face masks, specially in public places. Since manual monitoring of face masks is often infeasible in the middle of the crowd, automatic detection can be benefic...

In the past decades, the revolutionary advances of Machine Learning (ML) have shown a rapid adoption of ML models into software systems of diverse types. Such Machine Learning Software Applications (MLSAs) are gaining importance in our daily lives. As such, the Quality Assurance (QA) of MLSAs is of paramount importance. Several research efforts are...

Low-code software development (LCSD) is an emerging paradigm that combines minimal source code with interactive graphical interfaces to promote rapid application development. LCSD aims to democratize application development to software practitioners with diverse backgrounds. Given that LCSD is relatively a new paradigm, it is vital to learn about t...

Signage display, which is used to convey message or information, has evolved from conventional to digital display. Conventional signage which may be hand written or printed papers are being wiped out by digital displays used by industries because of its attractive features of efficient involvement of consumers. However, extensive use of digital sig...
