Variational Typing and Its Applications

Creator:: Chen, Sheng
Abstract:: The study of variational typing originated from the problem of type inference for variational programs, which encode numerous different but related plain programs. In this dissertation, I present a sound and complete type inference algorithm for inferring types of all plain programs encoded in variational programs. The proposed algorithm runs...

Understanding and supporting end-user debugging strategies

Creator:: Grigoreanu, Valentina I.
Abstract:: End users' programs are fraught with errors, costing companies millions of dollars. One reason may be that researchers and tool designers have not yet focused on end-user debugging strategies. To investigate this possibility, this dissertation presents eight empirical studies and a new strategy-based end-user debugging tool for Excel, called StratCel....

Toward end-user debugging of machine-learned programs

Creator:: Kulesza, Todd
Abstract:: The results of a machine learning from user behavior can be thought of as a program, and like all programs, it may need to be debugged. Providing ways for the user to debug it matters because without the ability to fix errors, users may find that the learned program’s errors...

The whats and hows of programmers' foraging diets

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Piorkowski, David, Fleming, Scott D., Kwan, Irwin, Burnett, Margaret, 1949-, Scaffidi, Chris, Bellamy, Rachel, and Jordhal, Joshua
Abstract:: One of the least studied areas of Information Foraging Theory is diet: the information foragers choose to seek. For example, do foragers choose solely based on cost, or do they stubbornly pursue certain diets regardless of cost? Do their debugging strategies vary with their diets? To investigate "what" and "how"...

The impact of two orthogonal factors in interactive fault localization

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Ruthruff, Joseph Ronald, Burnett, Margaret, 1949-, and Rothermel, Gregg
Abstract:: End users develop more software than any other group of programmers, using software authoring devices such as email filtering editors, by-demonstration macro builders, and spreadsheet environments. Despite this, there has been only a little research on finding ways to help these programmers with the dependability of the software they create....

The Architecture of a Reusable Built-In Self-Test for Link Training, IO and Memory Defect Detection and Auto Repair on 14nm Intel SOC

Creator:: Querbach, Bruce
Abstract:: The complexity of designing and testing today's system on chip (SOC) is increasing due to greater integrated circuit (IC) density and higher IO and memory frequencies. SOCs for the mobile phone and tablet market have the unique challenge of short product development windows, at times less than six months, and...

Supporting end-user debugging : what do users want to know?

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Kissinger, Cory, Burnett, Margaret, 1949-, Stumpf, Simone, Subrahmaniyan, Neeraja, Beckwith, Laura A., Yang, Sherry, and Rosson, Mary Beth
Abstract:: Although researchers have begun to explicitly support end-user programmers' debugging by providing information to help them find bugs, there is little research addressing the right content to communicate to these users. The specific semantic content of these debugging communications matters because, if the users are not actually seeking the information...

Steering programs via time travel

Creator:: Atwood, John Wesley, Jr., Burnett, Margaret, 1949-, Walpole, Rebecca A., Wilcox, E. M., Yang, Sherry, and Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science
Abstract:: Despite years of research into human computer interaction (HCI), the environments programmers must use for problem-solving today—with separate modes and tools for writing, compiling, testing, visualizing, and debugging— derive their basic structure from historical accident, and take little advantage of HCI research into the cognitive issues of programming. Neglecting these...

Personalizing machine learning systems with explanatory debugging

Creator:: Kulesza, Todd
Abstract:: How can end users efficiently influence the predictions that machine learning systems make on their behalf? Traditional systems rely on users to provide examples of how they want the learning system to behave, but this is not always practical for the user, nor efficient for the learning system. This dissertation...
