Taher A. Ghaleb

I am pleased to share that I am joining the Computer Science Department at Trent University in Peterborough, Canada, as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor. Excited about this new journey in my academic career. I look forward to contributing to the Software Engineering community.

(1/3) If you are interested in test minimisation in a continuous integration context, this paper was just accepted at @ICSEconf 2023: "ATM: Black-box Test Case Minimization based on Test Code Similarity and Evolutionary Search", Rongqi Pan, Taher Ghaleb, Lionel Briand.

If you are interested in flaky test cases, how to detect them without having to execute them or resorting to complex program analysis, here is a solution, just accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, based on language models (deep learning):

After many pandemic-induced delays, my group at uOttawa is somewhat complete ... Nearly all current positions are filled. I am glad to be surrounded by these talented, young, and friendly people. That sort of compensates for being grumpy and older. ;-)

@Inventitech How to measure "line"? It could be pretty long but a single line.

Longest *single* SQL query you have ever written (after sane formatting)?

@PreethaChatterj @DrexelUniv @DrexelCCI Congrats, Preetha. Wish you a successful journey.

I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining @DrexelUniv as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science @DrexelCCI from Fall 2021. 🎉 #grateful

@shanselman Just curious: why using Dropbox, not "Microsoft" OneDrive?

Was going through my archives looking for a specific slide and just had a moment as I could see the scope of the conferences I've been blessed to speak at over the years

“Enhanced Visualization of Method Invocations by Extending Reverse-engineered Sequence Diagrams” by @TaherGhaleb, Khalid Aljasser and Musab A. Alturki #VISSOFT2020

@vale_lenarduzzi @UniLUT @LUTsoftware @ComputingSc_TAU @CloweeGroup @jadatascience I find "reference" has a different meaning as well. In SE, we use "reference" for the variable that points to a memory address of another variable. In ML, we use "reference" for the category used to compare with other categories.

Are you aware of terms with different meanings in #SoftwareEngineering and #MachineLearning? By now we found: testing, regression, validation, model, training, ground truth, oracle. @UniLUT @LUTsoftware @ComputingSc_TAU @CloweeGroup @jadatascience

@vale_lenarduzzi @UniLUT @LUTsoftware @ComputingSc_TAU @CloweeGroup @jadatascience Can we say "code" | "coding" | "coders"? "Software" code = an executable program. "Data" code = a meaningful category or label.

Links to the presented papers: 1- "An Empirical Study of the Long Duration of Continuous Integration Builds" → seal-queensu.github.io/publications/p… 2- "Studying the Impact of Noises in Build Breakage Data" → seal-queensu.github.io/publications/p…

I'll be giving two talks about my Ph.D. research @ICSEconf: 1st: Long durations of CI builds (Friday 3:48 PM - UTC) youtu.be/2HZTZYJprtc 2nd: Noise in CI build breakages (Saturday 1:05 AM - UTC) youtu.be/0cAdCVadAH0 Your questions/feedback is greatly appreciated. #icse20

If you also missed the Live Streaming of my second talk, you can watch its video recording on YouTube: youtu.be/1X56k5fitGg Thanks for your interest!

@sarahnadi @PreethaChatterj Awesome! I have two JF papers to present @ ICSE. It will be a great pleasure to have such a chat with you. Will be in touch soon. Thanks.

@TaherGhaleb @PreethaChatterj Of course! If you’re planning on attending MSR or Icse, we can coordinate a time then & talk in a “break out” room. I’m also happy to schedule a separate call anytime. Just ping me to arrange

I'm preparing a short talk on how to contact potential supervisors & prepare a grad school application for #icse20 #smew.. if you are contemplating grad school & have any questions/concerns you'd like me to touch upon, feel free to reply here or DM me!

@sarahnadi @PreethaChatterj Could that chat be extended to get me involved ☺️?

@PreethaChatterj Not in this particular talk but happy to chat with you about that topic separately! :-)
