Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Martin Robillard received the 2024 SIGSOFT Influential Educator Award for his significant contributions to hands-on software design education, including a textbook (Introduction to Software Design with Java) and a learner-focused software modeling tool (JetUML). He is currently a Professor in the School of Computer Science at McGill University, Montréal, Canada, he is a Distinguished Member of the ACM and a Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of British Columbia. His research interests fall within the area of software engineering, focussing on human-centred software development. He was awarded six ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Awards for his work on recommendation systems, software traceability, and software documentation. Recently, he has been working on software documentation generation, test suite quality, and information privacy.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
