INTRODUCTION Open source software is big business. According to research conducted by Optaros, Inc., and InformationWeek magazine, 87 percent of the 512 companies surveyed use open source software, with companies earning over $1 billion in annual revenue saving an average of $3.3 million by using open source software in 2004.1 Open source is not just staying in computer rooms either-it is increasingly grabbing intellectual property headlines and entering mainstream news on issues like the following: i.

  • Unix Command Line; Editors
    Unix command line; editors Karl Broman Biostatistics & Medical Informatics, UW–Madison kbroman.org github.com/kbroman @kwbroman Course web: kbroman.org/AdvData My goal in this lecture is to convince you that (a) command-line-based tools are the things to focus on, (b) you need to choose a powerful, universal text editor (you’ll use it a lot), (c) you want to be comfortable and skilled with each. For your work to be reproducible, it needs to be code-based; don’t touch that mouse! Windows vs. Mac OSX vs. Linux Remote vs. Not 2 The Windows operating system is not very programmer-friendly. Mac OSX isn’t either, but under the hood, it’s just unix. Don’t touch the mouse! Open a terminal window and start typing. I do most of my work directly on my desktop or laptop. You might prefer to work remotely on a server, instead. But I can’t stand having any lag in looking at graphics. If you use Windows... Consider Git Bash (or Cygwin) or turn on the Windows subsystem for linux 3 Cygwin is an effort to get Unix command-line tools in Windows. Git Bash combines git (for version control) and bash (the unix shell); it’s simpler to deal with than Cygwin. Linux is now accessible in Windows 10, but you have to enable it. If you use a Mac... Consider Homebrew and iTerm2 Also the XCode command line tools 4 Homebrew is a packaging system; iTerm2 is a Terminal replacement. The XCode command line tools are a must for most unixy things on a Mac.

  • Press Release: New and Revised Extensions for Accessible
    Press release Leuven, Belgium, 8 November 2011 New and Revised Extensions for Accessible Document Creation with OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice The Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (K.U.Leuven) today released an extension for OpenOffice.org Writer and LibreOffice Writer that enables users to evaluate and repair accessibility issues in word processing documents. “AccessODF” (http://sourceforge.net/p/accessodf/wiki/) is a freeware extension for OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice, two office suites that are freely available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux/Unix and Solaris. At the same time, K.U.Leuven also releases new versions of two other extensions: odt2daisy (http://odt2daisy.sourceforge.net/) and odt2braille (http://odt2braille.sourceforge.net/). The former enables users to export word processing documents to digital talking books in the DAISY format; the latter enables exporting to Braille and printing on a Braille embosser. AccessODF, odt2daisy and odt2braille are being developed in the framework of the AEGIS project, an R&D project funded by the European Commission. The three extensions will be demonstrated at the AEGIS project’s Workshop and Conference, which take place in Brussels on 28-30 November 2011 (http://aegis-conference.eu/). AccessODF AccessODF is an extension that can be used in OpenOffice.org Writer and in LibreOffice Writer. It enables authors to find and repair accessibility issues in their documents, i.e. issues that make their documents difficult or even impossible to read for people with disabilities. This includes

  • Improving Code Autocompletion with Transfer Learning
    Improving Code Autocompletion with Transfer Learning Wen Zhou Seohyun Kim Vijayaraghavan Murali Gareth Ari Aye Facebook Inc. Facebook Inc. Facebook Inc. Facebook Inc. Menlo Park, U.S.A. Menlo Park, U.S.A. Menlo Park, U.S.A. Menlo Park, U.S.A. [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract—Software language models have achieved promising results predicting code completion usages, and several industry studies have described successful IDE integrations. Recently, accuracy in autocompletion prediction improved 12.8% [1] from training on a real-world dataset collected from programmers’ IDE activity. But what if limited examples of IDE autocompletion in the target programming language are available for model training? In this paper, we investigate the efficacy of pretraining autocompletion models on non-IDE, non-autocompletion, and different-language example code sequences. We find that these unsupervised pretrainings improve model accuracy by over 50% on very small fine-tuning datasets and over 10% on 50k labeled examples. We confirm the real-world impact of these pretrainings in an online setting through A/B testing on thousands of IDE autocompletion users, finding that pretraining is responsible for increases of up to 6.63% autocompletion usage. Index Terms—Machine learning, neural networks, software language models, naturalness, code completion, integrated de- velopment environments, software tools I. INTRODUCTION Fig. 1: Example of autocomplete in an IDE. Autocompletion is the most frequently used IDE feature [2]. Significant attention has been given to improving suggestion prediction through machine learning [3]–[6] by feeding code to models as a sequence of tokens or even AST nodes [7].
