How has our field’s understanding of validity in empirical SE research changed over the past decade? 🤔 Our paper on this topic, with @janetsiegmund.bsky.social, @svenapel.bsky.social, and @norbertsiegmund.bsky.social was accepted at ICSE 2026. Preprint: sws.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/wp-content/u...

Been having a splendid time at #ICSE2025, where I presented our paper on "programmer's block", joint work with @norbertsiegmund.bsky.social, @janetsiegmund.bsky.social. Interested in learning how problem's from software developers compare to writer's block? Check out the paper → rdcu.be/ektLk

Debugging performance bugs is a maze of complexity! We used VR to uncover how developers reason about performance bugs, revealing structured debugging episodes... To be presented at FSE'25, a preprint is available: www.se.cs.uni-saarland.de/publications...

When doing research for AI Engineering, I went through so many papers, case studies, blog posts, repos, tools, etc. This repo contains ~100 resources that really helped me understand various aspects of building with foundation models. github.com/chiphuyen/ai...

Software model evolution with LLMs: Does it work on real-world data from industry? To appear at @icseconf.bsky.social. A preprint is available: www.se.cs.uni-saarland.de/publications...

Ever encountered a block during programming? Stared at a blinking cursor in your IDE for hours? You can hear all about the research on programmer's block by @janetsiegmund.bsky.social, @norbertsiegmund.bsky.social and me at #icse2025, as we have been accepted to present on the journal-first track.

My deep learning course at the University of Geneva is available on-line. 1000+ slides, ~20h of screen-casts. Full of examples in PyTorch. fleuret.org/dlc/ And my "Little Book of Deep Learning" is available as a phone-formatted pdf (nearing 700k downloads!) fleuret.org/lbdl/

✨Exciting news! Dominik Gorgosch, @norbertsiegmund.bsky.social, Janet Siegmund and my paper '"Ok Pal, We Have to Code That Now": Interaction Patterns of Programming Beginners with a Conversational' Chatbot has been accepted in EMSE Journal! Ever wondered how beginners use AI to learn programming?⬇︎︎
