Interactive Programming & Analysis Lab
We see the elements of play and exploration in activities of software and data engineering as an essential part of developing larger computational systems.We can broadly view the work we do as part of two categories:
- Empirical Understanding: We we want to understand the underlying structures and artifacts that govern exploration and experimentation in computational tasks.
- System Building: We design, build, and evaluate interventions in the form of systems that either automate or augment human ability to better deal with these structures and artifacts.
Student projects
We have multiple project openings in the areas of interactive programming, machine learning for software engineering, and program synthesis. Please reach out to Jürgen Cito or Michael Schröder Have a look at some potential areas and topics here: IPA Student Project SlidesRecent News
- Students at TU Wien: We are offering various student projects starting spring term 2022 (bachelor's and master's theses, projects in computer science, seminars)
- We are offering two seminars at TU Wien in WS2021/22: AI Seminar on Probabilistic Programming, and Scientific Research and Writing
- Our research on continuous and incremental performance modeling has received a Facebook Research Award
- Our research on synthesizing security patches using machine learning has received an IBM Research Award
