Listen to this interview ofClaire Le Goues, Associate Professor in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. We talk about writing to presentversuswriting to express. Claire Le Goues : "Really, the very best natural writers that I've ever had in my group were not native English speakers. Because writing a good paper is very muchnotabout idiomatic or expressive language. I mean, sure, there is a point at which grammar becomes prohibitive to understanding. I mean, it needs to be correct enough that we can understand it without ambiguity. But good writing — it's about the argument, it’s about the order the information’s being presented in, it’s about hitting the appropriate level of abstraction or granularity. And that really has, fundamentally, very little to do with the language it's written in." Links:squaresLab Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Code Smell Detection by Deep Direct-Learning and Transfer-Learning
Listen to this interview ofTushar Sharma, assistant professor at Dalhousie University, Canada. We talk about his paperCode Smell Detection by Deep Direct-Learning and Transfer Learning(JSS 2021). Tushar Sharma : "For sure, it is crucial that the authors provide information about what they did, but also they need to provide enough information about this implementation so that another researcher can use the details to go and implement the approach themselves. And critical here is not just the level of detail, but also the presentationofthat detail. Because if it's not well structured, the risk is that a researcher will get lost and therefore be unable to replicate the work." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
What Is Metadata? A Discussion with Cyril Heude
In this episode of the CEU Press Podcast, host Andrea Talabér (CEU Press/CEU Review of Books) sat down with Cyril Heude (Sciences Po) to talk about all things metadata. What is metadata? How can researchers use metadata to help others discover their research? Cyril answers all these questions and more. Cyril’s main activities as a data librarian consist of Data Management Plan advising and writing, administrating the institutional repository (data.sciencespo), training students and researchers, writing online guides, conducting events and workshops with laboratories staff, archivists and the data protection officer and participating in a data journal (editorial and scientific committees). His professional interests focus on active and playful teaching through escape games, murder parties, board games, sketch notes and storytelling.

Word Embeddings for Model-Driven Engineering
Listen to this interview of José Antonio Hernández López, postdoc in the Department of Computer and Information Science, Software and Systems, Linköping University, Sweden; and Jesús Sánchez Cuadrado, Professor, Department of Computing and Systems, Universidad de Murcia, Spain. We talk about their paperWord Embeddings for Model-Driven Engineering(MoDELS 2023). Jesús Sánchez Cuadrado : "Actually, there are two target readers for our paper. One is anyone interested in the results because they are researchers who will try to improve what we have done or because they want to build better models. So, of course, for this reader, the results are very important. But we envisioned another target reader: Someone who'll just use the artifact. And for this reader, the results are less important, because they might just go quickly to the evaluation section and see how our results improve on the SOTA, and really, that's enough for their purposes."

Image as Form in a Transpositional Grammar
Listen to Episode No. 10 ofAll We Mean, a Special Focus of this podcast.All We Meanis an ongoing discussion and debate about how we mean and why. The guests on today's episode are Bill Cope and Mary Kalantzis, professors at the University of Illinois, and as well, John Jones, assistant professor at SUNY Cortland. In this episode of the Focus, our topic isImage as Form in a Transpositional Grammar: The Example of Photography. Bill Cope : "Every time a new medium turns up, it does new things. So, in the case of photography — our example medium today — its form is Image, and in our grammar, the Image is the human's way of representing the world on a two-dimensional plane. Now, of course, the Image has been around for a very long time, but when photography develops, it adds new things to the Image — it makes the Image much more accessible. You know, how many zillions of photographs are taken every day now, and most of them pushed across space and time via the Internet, right? So we ask, what does that massification of the ability to create the Image do?" Links Cartier-Bresson, The Decisive Image Muybridge's Moving Images Robert Fielding Learn more about your ad choices.

"Did You Miss My Comment or What?": Understanding Toxicity in Open Source Discussions
Listen to this interview ofCourtney Miller, PhD student in Software Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. We talk about her paper"Did You Miss My Comment or What?" Understanding Toxicity in Open Source Discussions(ICSE 2022). Courtney Miller : "One of the things I really enjoyed after publication was the interest of other communities in our work. I mean, just the summer after we published, I went and gave a talk at the Linux Open Source conference, and it was really great to learn that — there's a lot of duality of thought in this world, but there's a lot of people who are pretty much studying the same types of problems as you but from completely different fields and completely different directions. And so, being able to incorporate their work in as well, while also having the bulk of our citations be to ICSE, of course, because that's our bread and butter in software engineering — all that comes together to make a better foundation for the paper."
