Context: Web APIs are one of the most used ways to expose application functionality on the Web, and their understandability is important for efficiently using the provided resources. While many API design rules exist, empirical evidence for the effectiveness of most rules is lacking. Objective: We therefore wanted to study 1) the impact of RESTful API design rules on understandability, 2) if rule violations are also perceived as more difficult to understand, and 3) if demographic attributes like REST-related experience have an influence on this. Method: We conducted a controlled Web-based experiment with 105 participants, from both industry and academia and with different levels of experience. Based on a crossover design, we studied 12 design rules using API snippets in two complementary versions: one that adhered to a "rule" and one that was a "violation" of this rule. Participants answered comprehension questions and rated the perceived difficulty. Results: For 11 of the 12 rules, we found that "violation" performed significantly worse than "rule" for the comprehension tasks. Regarding the subjective ratings, we found significant differences for 9 of the 12 rules, meaning that most violations were subjectively rated as more difficult to understand. Demographics played no role in the comprehension performance for "violation". Conclusions: Our results provide first empirical evidence for the importance of following design rules to improve the understandability of Web APIs, which is important for researchers, practitioners, and educators.

This paper introduces CORAE, a novel web-based open-source tool for COntinuous Retrospective Affect Evaluation, designed to capture continuous affect data about interpersonal perceptions in dyadic interactions. Grounded in behavioral ecology perspectives of emotion, this approach replaces valence as the relevant rating dimension with approach and withdrawal, reflecting the degree to which behavior is perceived as increasing or decreasing social distance. We conducted a study to experimentally validate the efficacy of our platform with 24 participants. The tool's effectiveness was tested in the context of dyadic negotiation, revealing insights about how interpersonal dynamics evolve over time. We find that the continuous affect rating method is consistent with individuals' perception of the overall interaction. This paper contributes to the growing body of research on affective computing and offers a valuable tool for researchers interested in investigating the temporal dynamics of affect and emotion in social interactions.

When humans cooperate, they frequently coordinate their activity through both verbal communication and non-verbal actions, using this information to infer a shared goal and plan. How can we model this inferential ability? In this paper, we introduce a model of a cooperative team where one agent, the principal, may communicate natural language instructions about their shared plan to another agent, the assistant, using GPT-3 as a likelihood function for instruction utterances. We then show how a third person observer can infer the team's goal via multi-modal Bayesian inverse planning from actions and instructions, computing the posterior distribution over goals under the assumption that agents will act and communicate rationally to achieve them. We evaluate this approach by comparing it with human goal inferences in a multi-agent gridworld, finding that our model's inferences closely correlate with human judgments (R = 0.96). When compared to inference from actions alone, we also find that instructions lead to more rapid and less uncertain goal inference, highlighting the importance of verbal communication for cooperative agents.

The analysis of multiple time-to-event outcomes in a randomised controlled clinical trial can be accomplished with exisiting methods. However, depending on the characteristics of the disease under investigation and the circumstances in which the study is planned, it may be of interest to conduct interim analyses and adapt the study design if necessary. Due to the expected dependency of the endpoints, the full available information on the involved endpoints may not be used for this purpose. We suggest a solution to this problem by embedding the endpoints in a multi-state model. If this model is Markovian, it is possible to take the disease history of the patients into account and allow for data-dependent design adaptiations. To this end, we introduce a flexible test procedure for a variety of applications, but are particularly concerned with the simultaneous consideration of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). This setting is of key interest in oncological trials. We conduct simulation studies to determine the properties for small sample sizes and demonstrate an application based on data from the NB2004-HR study.

Despite significant advancements in existing models, generating text descriptions from structured data input, known as data-to-text generation, remains a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that goes beyond traditional one-shot generation methods by introducing a multi-step process consisting of generation, verification, and correction stages. Our approach, VCP(Verification and Correction Prompting), begins with the model generating an initial output. We then proceed to verify the correctness of different aspects of the generated text. The observations from the verification step are converted into a specialized error-indication prompt, which instructs the model to regenerate the output while considering the identified errors. To enhance the model's correction ability, we have developed a carefully designed training procedure. This procedure enables the model to incorporate feedback from the error-indication prompt, resulting in improved output generation. Through experimental results, we demonstrate that our approach effectively reduces slot error rates while maintaining the overall quality of the generated text.

Cloud applications are moving away from monolithic model towards loosely-coupled microservices designs. Service meshes are widely used for implementing microservices applications mainly because they provide a modular architecture for modern applications by separating operational features from application business logic. Sidecar proxies in service meshes enable this modularity by applying security, networking, and monitoring policies on the traffic to and from services. To implement these policies, sidecars often execute complex chains of logic that vary across associated applications and end up unevenly impacting the performance of the overall application. Lack of understanding of how the sidecars impact the performance of microservice-based applications stands in the way of building performant and resource-efficient applications. To this end, we bring sidecar proxies in focus and argue that we need to deeply study their impact on the system performance and resource utilization. We identify and describe challenges in characterizing sidecars, namely the need for microarchitectural metrics and comprehensive methodologies, and discuss research directions where such characterization will help in building efficient service mesh infrastructure for microservice applications.

On December 7, 2020, Ghanaians participated in the polls to determine their president for the next four years. To gain insights from this presidential election, we conducted stance analysis (which is not always equivalent to sentiment analysis) to understand how Twitter, a popular social media platform, reflected the opinions of its users regarding the two main presidential candidates. We collected a total of 99,356 tweets using the Twitter API (Tweepy) and manually annotated 3,090 tweets into three classes: Against, Neutral, and Support. We then performed preprocessing on the tweets. The resulting dataset was evaluated using two lexicon-based approaches, VADER and TextBlob, as well as five supervised machine learning-based approaches: Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression (LR), Multinomial Na\"ive Bayes (MNB), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), and Random Forest (RF), based on metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The best performance was achieved by Logistic Regression with an accuracy of 71.13%. We utilized Logistic Regression to classify all the extracted tweets and subsequently conducted an analysis and discussion of the results.

In this paper, we design a novel two-phase unsourced random access (URA) scheme in massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO). In the first phase, we collect a sequence of information bits to jointly acquire the user channel state information (CSI) and the associated information bits. In the second phase, the residual information bits of all the users are partitioned into sub-blocks with a very short length to exhibit a higher spectral efficiency and a lower computational complexity than the existing transmission schemes in massive MIMO URA. By using the acquired CSI in the first phase, the sub-block recovery in the second phase is cast as a compressed sensing (CS) problem. From the perspective of the statistical physics, we provide a theoretical framework for our proposed URA scheme to analyze the induced problem based on the replica method. The analytical results show that the performance metrics of our URA scheme can be linked to the system parameters by a single-valued free entropy function. An AMP-based recovery algorithm is designed to achieve the performance indicated by the proposed theoretical framework. Simulations verify that our scheme outperforms the most recent counterparts.

In this paper, we address the problem of short-term action anticipation, i.e., we want to predict an upcoming action one second before it happens. We propose to harness high-level intent information to anticipate actions that will take place in the future. To this end, we incorporate an additional goal prediction branch into our model and propose a consistency loss function that encourages the anticipated actions to conform to the high-level goal pursued in the video. In our experiments, we show the effectiveness of the proposed approach and demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art results on two large-scale datasets: Assembly101 and COIN.

With the rapid increase of large-scale, real-world datasets, it becomes critical to address the problem of long-tailed data distribution (i.e., a few classes account for most of the data, while most classes are under-represented). Existing solutions typically adopt class re-balancing strategies such as re-sampling and re-weighting based on the number of observations for each class. In this work, we argue that as the number of samples increases, the additional benefit of a newly added data point will diminish. We introduce a novel theoretical framework to measure data overlap by associating with each sample a small neighboring region rather than a single point. The effective number of samples is defined as the volume of samples and can be calculated by a simple formula $(1-\beta^{n})/(1-\beta)$, where $n$ is the number of samples and $\beta \in [0,1)$ is a hyperparameter. We design a re-weighting scheme that uses the effective number of samples for each class to re-balance the loss, thereby yielding a class-balanced loss. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on artificially induced long-tailed CIFAR datasets and large-scale datasets including ImageNet and iNaturalist. Our results show that when trained with the proposed class-balanced loss, the network is able to achieve significant performance gains on long-tailed datasets.

Sentiment analysis is a widely studied NLP task where the goal is to determine opinions, emotions, and evaluations of users towards a product, an entity or a service that they are reviewing. One of the biggest challenges for sentiment analysis is that it is highly language dependent. Word embeddings, sentiment lexicons, and even annotated data are language specific. Further, optimizing models for each language is very time consuming and labor intensive especially for recurrent neural network models. From a resource perspective, it is very challenging to collect data for different languages. In this paper, we look for an answer to the following research question: can a sentiment analysis model trained on a language be reused for sentiment analysis in other languages, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, and Dutch, where the data is more limited? Our goal is to build a single model in the language with the largest dataset available for the task, and reuse it for languages that have limited resources. For this purpose, we train a sentiment analysis model using recurrent neural networks with reviews in English. We then translate reviews in other languages and reuse this model to evaluate the sentiments. Experimental results show that our robust approach of single model trained on English reviews statistically significantly outperforms the baselines in several different languages.
