The program of @NLBSE_workshop (co-located with @ICSEconf) is online https://t.co/ck8TLiiE6k We (@MalihehIzadi , @ Andrea Di Sorbo, and @spanichella) are looking forward to meeting you for NLBSE 2025! #icse #NLP #SoftwareEngineering

🚀 Excited to represent COST Action CA22137 as a Management Committee Member at the Second General Meeting in Sarajevo! From Feb 18-19, 2025, I'll join discussions on randomized optimization algorithms at IUS. Looking forward to insightful exchanges! 🔗 https://t.co/HphXrLAKhk

Exciting news: Together with @thomas_borsani, Giuseppe Di Fatta, and @brusso1234, we took on the @NLBSE_workshop challenge in code comment classification. We investigated the impact of the loss function on a scarce #dataset; the pre-print is already out ->

🎉 Thrilled to share that our paper (with Ramtin Ehsani and @shadi_rezapour) has been accepted at @NLBSE_workshop 2025, co-located with @ICSEconf. Our work shows promise in improving toxicity detection in OSS using moral values & psycholinguistic cues. Preprint coming soon.

Are you interested in future software engineering research on simulation-based testing for autonomous systems? Our position paper has been accepted for the special issue "A 2030 Roadmap for Software Engineering" @acm_tosem ! 🙏@SajadKhatiri Pooja Rani, Timo Kehrer @spanichella

Congratulations @s0nata2 on her participation in The 4th Intl. Workshop on NL-based Software Engineering @NLBSE_workshop as a competition co-chair. See you in Canada! https://t.co/u6LUKFlcud

I am excited to announce that we are organizing a tool competition for self-driving car testing @ICSTconf. Check it out! https://t.co/npB3Csdvwm GitHub: https://t.co/JizTS3X4Xu The competition is organized by @BirchlerChris, @mattiafazzini, @stklik, and @spanichella.

After a great collaboration among colleagues, our paper was eventually published and presented at @FSEconf. Many thanks to Tanzil K. Mohammed, Teodora Nechita, Pooja Rani, @timokehrer, and @spanichella ! Paper: https://t.co/MeUd27bRFt Slides:

“Implicit expectations in ML code must be converted to explicit assertions”. I presented the challenges of mining ML visualisations and related assertions ⁦@NLBSE_workshop⁩ ⁦@ICSEconf⁩. Co-authored by ⁦@luismcruz⁩ ⁦@avandeursen⁩

And that’s a wrap for @NLBSE_workshop 2024 with our participants who stuck around until Saturday 17:30! 😁 Thanks to all our speakers, panelists, authors, volunteers, audience and of course the organising team! @ICSEconf #icse2024

Second @NLBSE_workshop research session starts with the research talk "Unveiling Disparities: NLP Analysis of Software Industry and Vocational Education Gaps" by Emil Bäckstrand, Rasmus Djupedal, Lena-Maria Öberg and Francisco Gomes de Oliveira Neto @ICSEconf
