    RepoGraph : a novel semantic code exploration tool for Python repositories based on knowledge graphs and deep learning

    Full text link
    This work presents RepoGraph, an integrated semantic code exploration web tool that combines information extraction, knowledge graphs, and deep learning models. It offers new capabilities for software developers (from academia and industry) to represent and query Python repositories. Unlike existing tools, RepoGraph not only provides a novel search interface powered by deep learning techniques but also exposes the underlying features and representations of repositories to users. Additionally, it offers several interactive visualizations. We also introduce RepoPyOnto, a new ontology that captures the features of Python code repositories and is used by RepoGraph for representing the captured knowledge. Finally, we successfully evaluate RepoGraph against several criteria, including function summarization performance, the correctness and relevance of search results, as well as the processing time for constructing graphs of various sizes

    Building Lightweight Semantic Search Engines

    Full text link
    Despite significant advances in methods for processing large volumes of structured and unstructured data, surprisingly little attention has been devoted to developing practical methodologies that leverage state-of-the-art technologies to build domain-specific semantic search engines tailored to use cases where they could provide substantial benefits. This paper presents a methodology for developing these kinds of systems in a lightweight, modular, and flexible way with a particular focus on providing powerful search tools in domains where non-expert users encounter challenges in exploring the data repository at hand. Using an academic expertise finder tool as a case study, we demonstrate how this methodology allows us to leverage powerful off-the-shelf technology to enable the rapid, low-cost development of semantic search engines, while also affording developers with the necessary flexibility to embed user-centric design in their development in order to maximise uptake and application value

    Mapping the repository landscape : harnessing similarity with RepoSim and RepoSnipy

    Full text link
    The rapid growth of scientific software development has led to the emergence of large and complex codebases, making it challenging to search, find, and compare software repositories within the scientific research community. In this paper, we propose a solution by leveraging deep learning techniques to learn embeddings that capture semantic similarities among repositories. Our approach focuses on identifying repositories with similar semantics, even when their code fragments and documentation exhibit different syntax. To address this challenge, we introduce two complementary open-source tools: RepoSim and RepoSnipy. RepoSim is a command-line toolbox designed to represent repositories at both the source code and documentation levels. It utilizes the UniXcoder pre-trained language model, which has demonstrated remarkable performance in code-related understanding tasks. RepoSnipy is a web-based neural semantic search engine that utilizes the powerful capabilities of RepoSim and offers a user-friendly search interface, allowing researchers and practitioners to query public repositories hosted on GitHub and discover semantically similar repositories. RepoSim and RepoSnipy empower researchers, developers, and practitioners by facilitating the comparison and analysis of software repositories. They not only enable efficient collaboration and code reuse but also accelerate the development of scientific software

    frances is an advanced cloud-based text mining digital platform that leverages information extraction, knowledge graphs, natural language processing (NLP), deep learning, and parallel processing techniques. It has been specifically designed to unlock the full potential of historical digital textual collections, such as those from the National Library of Scotland, offering cloud-based capabilities and extended support for complex NLP analyses and data visualizations. frances enables realtime recurrent operational text mining and provides robust capabilities for temporal analysis, accompanied by automatic visualizations for easy result inspection. In this paper, we present the motivation behind the development of frances, emphasizing its innovative design and novel implementation aspects. We also outline future development directions. Additionally, we evaluate the platform through two comprehensive case studies in history and publishing history. Feedback from participants in these studies demonstrates that frances accelerates their work and facilitates rapid testing and dissemination of ideas

    The life and Story of Rosa Maria:Brazil's First Black Author

    Full text link
    Thirty years after the release of Rosa Maria Egipcíaca's biography by Brazilian historian LuizMott in 1993, one of Rio de Janeiro's strongest carnival samba schools, Unidos do Viradouro, finally brought her name into Brazilian mainstream culture. Rosa Maria is Brazil's first black author, having written a book and letters of prophecy. Her story is global in both space and time. In her journey, Rosa traversed three different continents - Africa, South America and Europe - interconnected by the colonial ties of transatlantic slavery and Catholicism, and though she lived in the eighteenth century, her 'afterlife' extends until today, as will be described through the context of Brazil's carnival

    Sub Rosa

    No full text
    In this stunning debut novel, Amber Dawn subverts and transgresses the classic hero's quest adventure to create a dark post-feminist vision not for the faint of heart. Sub Rosa's reluctant heroine is known as "Little," a teenaged runaway unable to remember her real name; in her struggle to get by in the world, she stumbles upon an underground society of ghosts and magicians, missing girls and would-be johns: a place called Sub Rosa. Not long after she is initiated into this family of magical prostitutes, Little is called upon to lead Sub Rosa through a maze of feral darkness, both real and imagined--a calling burdened with grotesque enemies, strange allies, and memories from a foggy past. Written with a kind of gasping urgency, Sub Rosa is a beautiful and gutsy allegory of our times, a fairy-tale-like fantasia imbued with a grave, unapologetic realness. --From publisher description.Women's literatureFictionLGBTQ+Lesbian literatur

    FILOSOFO NEL DIPINGERE:SALVATOR ROSA TRA ROMA E FIRENZE (1639-1659)

    No full text
    Si tratta della prima mostra italiana sul celebre artista Salvator Rosa, nato a Napoli nel 1615 e morto a Roma nel 1673. Alla mostra l’autrice ha collaborato come comitato scientifico, come redattrice di numerose schede, e come autrice di un corposo saggio sull’attività dell’artista a Firenze negli anni Quaranta del Seicento e a Roma negli anni Cinquanta. Ricco di materiale inedito, frutto di lunghe ricerche condotte dalla studiosa sull’importante artista, il saggio restituisce la figura del Rosa pittore, poeta e protagonista di una svolta artistica e culturale di metà Seicento che prelude già all’arte del secolo successivo. This is the first exhibition dedicated to the famous painter Salvator Rosa in Italy. Born in Neaple in 1615 he died in Rome in 1673. The author, that was studying the artist’s oeuvre and biography since many years, worked on the exhibition with many entries and was part of the scientific committee. She wrote also a big chapter on the activity of the painter in Florence, during the 1640th, and in Rome during the 1650th. Rich in unpublished material, the essay gives us a new idea on the biography and artistic production of Salvator Rosa painter and poet, leading artist of the turning point between Seventeenth and Eighteen Century

    Rosa Luxemburg: Periphery and Perception

    No full text
    Rosa Luxemburg was a critical thinker and author of many political and social reflections which to readers of today seem quite up to date. Particularly in the Global South, there seems to exist a stronger interest in Luxemburg’s work today, which is not surprising at all, considering that many problems she thought about are still existent – especially there. The participants of the International Rosa Luxemburg Conference in Bodø, Norway, in March 2023, discussed her role in the 21st century in quite some detail. The present anthology contains the conference’s extended proceedings and particularly focuses on two important elements in regard to Luxemburg: Her role for and within the global ›periphery‹ and her ›perception‹ in relation to other intellectuals, social democracy or the political left in a broader sense of the spectrum

    The photobook "A Mesma Luta" (The Same Fight) comprises 25 black and white photographs of social movements in São Paulo from 1978 to 1984. Photographer Rosa Gauditano (São Paulo, Brasil 1955) documented the ABC strikes, the Custo de Vida (Cost of Living) movement, women's demonstrations such as the murder of Eliane de Grammount, SOS Mulher, the 3 Congresses of the Paulista Woman, the protest of the Mothers of The Plaza de Mayo, the first demonstrations of the Unified Black Movement and the demonstration against the murder of the metallurgist Santo Dias by the police. The edition of this work is focused on this women's struggles and its important role for the change of Brazilian society that culminated in the end of the dictatorship from Diretas Já. Author Rosa Gauditano began her career as a photographer in the 1970s, working for small printing houses from the Imprensa Nanica (journalists who wrote against the ideas of the dictatorship, it was so called because few were the ones who dared to write something against the government given the strong repression), taht include Versus, Movimento and Em Tempo. Later she worked as a hired photographer for Folha de São Paulo and Veja magazine until she founded Studio R where she continues to work to this day
