title: 'From the Margins to the Mainstream': A Study of the Transformation of Marxism Today
Creators: name: Pimlott, Herbert Frederick
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2000

description: This thesis examines the relationship between the alternative media and the public sphere by studying Marxism Today, which despite being published by a marginal political organisation, the Communist Party of Great Britain, confounded expectations and rose from obscurity to national prominence as the leading magazine of the Left during Thatcherism's heyday in the 1980s. As a rare example of a successful left periodical, Marxism Today provides a unique opportunity to understand how and why marginal publications may overcome the many financial, production and distribution obstacles and gain access to the mainstream. This thesis outlines the major social, political and cultural influences and practices which helped to shape MT's political and journalistic projects and five of its key ideas and themes. Its struggle for autonomy from the CP and its production history, the subjects of two individual chapters, illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of the dominant models for left periodicals. These changes in autonomy and production were also important to MT's ability to compete in the marketplace and its success in gaining nationwide distribution and press coverage. Marxism Today's access to the 'mainstream', national public sphere was also dependent upon its textual transformation from a 'journal' into a 'magazine' (eg design, format, writing style). All of these changes together helped MT succeed where most left and alternative periodicals fail transformation from a 'journal' into a 'magazine', wherein the underwent changes which, not only enabled MT to reach readers outside the CP and organised Left and gain access to the national public sphere, but also intervene in debates within the Left's (counter) public sphere. Finally, in assessing MT's lessons for the debates over left press models and Jürgen Habermas's public sphere theory, the conclusion also provides a summary of its influence upon the Labour and Communist parties.

description: This paper investigates double RIS-assisted MIMO communication systems over Rician fading channels with finite scatterers, spatial correlation, and the existence of a double-scattering link between the transceiver. First, the statistical information is driven in closed form for the aggregated channels, unveiling various influences of the system and environment on the average channel power gains. Next, we study two active and passive beamforming designs corresponding to two objectives. The first problem maximizes channel capacity by jointly optimizing the active precoding and combining matrices at the transceivers and passive beamforming at the double RISs subject to the transmitting power constraint. In order to tackle the inherently non-convex issue, we propose an efficient alternating optimization algorithm (AO) based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). The second problem enhances communication reliability by jointly training the encoder and decoder at the transceivers and the phase shifters at the RISs. Each neural network representing a system entity in an end-to-end learning framework is proposed to minimize the symbol error rate of the detected symbols by controlling the transceiver and the RISs phase shifts. Numerical results verify our analysis and demonstrate the superior improvements of phase shift designs to boost system performance.

description: Comme de nombreux autres pays occidentaux, tels que la France, le Canada et l’Angleterre, la Suisse, et plus spécifiquement le canton de Vaud, se sont interrogés à la fin du XXe siècle sur la nécessité d’un cours en matière de religions, face à un monde de plus en plus multiculturel. Après de nombreux débats et discussions – qui ont toujours lieu actuellement – l’enseignement de l’éthique et cultures religieuses (ECR) est finalement introduit dans le cursus scolaire en 2012 et associé à la branche de l’histoire ; cette nouvelle discipline remplace alors l’enseignement de l’histoire biblique. Malheureusement, j’ai pu constater, au cours de mes stages et remplacements que, dans de nombreux établissements, les enseignants d’histoire, chargés de l’apprentissage de l’ECR, ne l’enseignent que très peu, voire nullement. Face à cette problématique, je me suis rendue dans un collège du nord-vaudois pour y questionner les enseignants d’histoire sur leurs rapports à l’ECR, en les interrogeant plus précisément sur leurs représentations de cette branche, leurs manière de l’enseigner ainsi que les problèmes qu’ils rencontrent et les solutions qu’ils envisageraient. Au travers d’entretiens semi-directifs, j’ai pu récolter des données me permettant de mettre en lumière les différentes problématiques et tensions autour de l’enseignement de l’ECR. En me basant sur des écrits et recherches menées dans d’autres pays occidentaux dans lesquels se dispense un enseignement en matière de religions, j’ai pu comparer mes résultats et mettre en avant des problèmes similaires à ceux des autres pays. A l’issu de cette recherche, trois éléments principaux ont été relevés : le manque de formation des enseignants en ECR ayant de grandes répercussions sur leur enseignement de l’ECR, le rapport délicat des enseignants, et plus généralement de la société, à la religion et enfin l’association problématique de l’ECR à la branche de l’histoire. Tout ceci peut expliquer en partie les raisons de la difficile mise en place de l’ECR sur le terrain et la réticence de certains enseignants à l’enseigner.

description: Nearly a century has passed since the initial discovery of the Pazyryk kurgan complex and its tattooed mummies, yet our understanding of these Iron Age steppe nomads remains stagnant. The current project serves a twofold purpose. Firstly, I critique and readjust the Near Eastern-centric perspectives and paradigms utilized in the study of Pazyryk art in extant literature. A new Pazyryk-centric analytical framework is proposed, which need not be defined by a unidirectional Near Eastern influence, which undermines the cultural agency and intentionality visible in the archaeological corpus. Secondly, I introduce a distinction which acknowledges the higher social and cultural importance of the practice and permanent result of Pazyryk tattooing, more so than other artistic exercises resulting in motifs that decorate the material objects. This is supported by thorough comparisons with Achaemenid Persian motifs seen on material objects versus predominantly local Pazyryk tattoo art. It is possible to conclude that Pazyryk tattoo art is reserved as a medium with great socio-cultural significance void of clear Achaemenid influences. From this a detailed “Pazyryk Style” is established. Based on the evidence, I argue that a Pazyryk-centric approach is essential in striving towards a holistic and faithful reconstruction archaeologically; and that Pazyryk discourse can benefit immensely if these biases are no longer employed.

description: This article analyzes the reception of a novel algorithmic recommendation of documentary films by a panel of moviegoers of the T{ë}nk platform. In order to propose an alternative to recommendations based on a thematic classification, the director or the production period, a set of metadata has been elaborated within the framework of this experimentation in order to characterize the great variety of ``documentary filmmaking dispositifs'' . The goal is to investigate the different ways in which the platform's film lovers appropriate a personalized recommendation of 4 documentaries with similar or similar filmmaking dispositifs. To conclude, the contributions and limits of this proof of concept are discussed in order to sketch out avenues of reflection for improving the instrumented mediation of documentary films.

description: Implementing nonlinear interactions between single photons and single atoms is at the forefront of optical physics. Motivated by the prospects of deterministic all-optical quantum logic, many efforts are currently underway to find suitable experimental techniques. Focusing the incident photons onto the atom with a lens yielded promising results, but is limited by diffraction to moderate interaction strengths. However, techniques to exceed the diffraction limit are known from high-resolution imaging. In this work, we adapt a super-resolution imaging technique, 4Pi microscopy, to efficiently couple light to a single atom. We observe 36.6(3)% extinction of the incident field, and a modified photon statistics of the transmitted field -- indicating nonlinear interaction at the single-photon level.

What Lies at the Center of Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale? Network Structure and Latent Structure of Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale for Indian Data.

subject: Personality and individual differences

description: Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) has been a popular measure of self-esteem across the globe. Past researches investigating dimensionality of the scale have yielded varying results with even more differing interpretations. Little is known about the network structure of the RSES. This paper reports latent variable based measurement-model and network analysis of the RSES for Indian data (n = 1216). Confirmatory factor analysis supported the bidimensional view. A network analysis of the RSES provided two reasonably distinct subsets: positive items subset and negative items subset.No gender differences were found in the network structure of RSES. "I take a positive attitude toward myself", item-6 of RSES was found to be most central to the RSES network followed by item-9. Cluster analysis resulted in two clusters: high self-esteem and low self-esteem. Network analysis suggested two central items, item-6 and item-9, which classified the 'high' and 'low' clusters. They yielded high sensitivity and specificity values. These results support the view that RSES has a primary component of positive self-appraisal and a secondary component of absence of incompetence self-appraisal for Indian data. They also suggest that scores on item-6 and item-9 only suffice as dependable measures for assessment of global self-esteem when a short and quick measure is required.Published in Bombay Psychologists, 32, 1-2, 1-14.

We show that it is possible to exploit a thermalization process to extract work from a resource system $R$ to a bipartite system $S$. To do this, we propose a simple protocol in a general setting in the presence of a single bath at temperature $T$ and then examine it when $S$ is described by the quantum Rabi model at $T=0$. We find the theoretical bounds of the protocol in the general case and we show that when applied to the Rabi model it gives rise to a satisfactory extraction of work and efficiency.

description: Cloud computing is a web-based utility model that is becoming popular every day with the emergence of 4th Industrial Revolution, therefore, cybercrimes that affect web-based systems are also relevant to cloud computing. In order to conduct a forensic investigation into a cyber-attack, it is necessary to identify and locate the source of the attack as soon as possible. Although significant study has been done in this domain on obstacles and its solutions, research on approaches and strategies is still in its development stage. There are barriers at every stage of cloud forensics, therefore, before we can come up with a comprehensive way to deal with these problems, we must first comprehend the cloud technology and its forensics environment. Although there are articles that are linked to cloud forensics, there is not yet a paper that accumulated the contemporary concerns and solutions related to cloud forensic. Throughout this chapter, we have looked at the cloud environment, as well as the threats and attacks that it may be subjected to. We have also looked at the approaches that cloud forensics may take, as well as the various frameworks and the practical challenges and limitations they may face when dealing with cloud forensic investigations.

description: ABC-stacked trilayer graphene has exhibited a variety of correlated phenomena owing to its relatively flat bands and gate-tunable bandgap. However, convenient methods are still lacking for identifying ABC graphene with nanometer-scale resolution. Here we demonstrate that the scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) working in ambient conditions can provide quick recognition of ABC trilayer graphene with no ambiguity and excellent resolution (~20 nm). The recognition is based on the difference in their near-field infrared (IR) responses between the ABA and ABC trilayers. We show that in most frequencies, the response of the ABC trilayer is weaker than the ABA trilayer. However, near the graphene phonon frequency (~1585 cm-1), ABC's response increases dramatically when gated and exhibits a narrow and sharp Fano-shape resonant line, whereas the ABA trilayer is largely featherless. Consequently, the IR contrast between ABC and ABA becomes reversed and can even be striking (ABC/ABA~3) near the graphene phonon frequency. The observed near-field IR features can serve as a golden rule to quickly distinguish ABA and ABC trilayers with no ambiguity, which could largely advance the exploration of correlation physics in ABC-stacked trilayer graphene.

description: The progress in generative AI has fueled AI-powered tools like co-pilots and assistants to provision better guidance, particularly during data analysis. However, research on guidance has not yet examined the perceived efficacy of the source from which guidance is offered and the impact of this source on the user's perception and usage of guidance. We ask whether users perceive all guidance sources as equal, with particular interest in three sources: (i) AI, (ii) human expert, and (iii) a group of human analysts. As a benchmark, we consider a fourth source, (iv) unattributed guidance, where guidance is provided without attribution to any source, enabling isolation of and comparison with the effects of source-specific guidance. We design a five-condition between-subjects study, with one condition for each of the four guidance sources and an additional (v) no-guidance condition, which serves as a baseline to evaluate the influence of any kind of guidance. We situate our study in a custom data preparation and analysis tool wherein we task users to select relevant attributes from an unfamiliar dataset to inform a business report. Depending on the assigned condition, users can request guidance, which the system then provides in the form of attribute suggestions. To ensure internal validity, we control for the quality of guidance across source-conditions. Through several metrics of usage and perception, we statistically test five preregistered hypotheses and report on additional analysis. We find that the source of guidance matters to users, but not in a manner that matches received wisdom. For instance, users utilize guidance differently at various stages of analysis, including expressing varying levels of regret, despite receiving guidance of similar quality. Notably, users in the AI condition reported both higher post-task benefit and regret.

description: Les représentations sociales des jeunes sont importantes à prendre en compte pour réfléchir à la problématique de l’éducation à la santé. De nature exploratoire, cette étude a été menée auprès d’écoliers adolescents et de leurs enseignants dans un collège du canton de Vaud. L’objectif a été de comprendre les préoccupations ainsi que les habitudes et les opinions des jeunes à propos de leur santé en comparant les représentations sociales des adolescents et des enseignants. Grâce à des entretiens durant lesquels des questions ont été posées à des élèves et leurs enseignants, j’ai mis en lumière divers aspects des représentations sociales de la santé des adolescents, tels que leurs préoccupations à propos de leur santé, leurs actions quotidiennes pour l’entretenir, l’idéal qu’ils devraient entreprendre pour l’améliorer, mais également leurs opinions sur des possibles différences entre la santé d’un garçon et celle d’une fille et les sources informatrices vers lesquelles se tournent les adolescents pour se renseigner à propos de leur santé. Les résultats montrent que certaines différences apparaissent entre les représentations sociales des adolescents et celles de leurs enseignants, quand il est question de santé. Le classement des réponses par catégories met en évidence l’importance de l’alimentation, de l’activité physique ou encore la maladie pour représenter la santé. Ce qui ressort généralement de ces réponses, ce sont les divergences entre les opinions entre les adolescents et leurs enseignants. Nous remarquons alors que ces différences sont à considérer, en particulier, quand il s’agit d’éducation à la santé. Les résultats d’analyse des représentations sociales des acteurs du contexte scolaire peuvent, finalement, servir de bases à l’élaboration des programmes de prévention et de promotion de la santé destinés aux adolescents scolarisés. Il serait essentiel de tenir compte des représentations sociales propres aux adolescents pour réfléchir aux programmes de prévention et d’éducation à la santé en milieu scolaire, pour s’assurer de toucher, intéresser et instruire les élèves sur leur santé.

description: Sequential recommender systems aim to predict users' next interested item given their historical interactions. However, a long-standing issue is how to distinguish between users' long/short-term interests, which may be heterogeneous and contribute differently to the next recommendation. Existing approaches usually set pre-defined short-term interest length by exhaustive search or empirical experience, which is either highly inefficient or yields subpar results. The recent advanced transformer-based models can achieve state-of-the-art performances despite the aforementioned issue, but they have a quadratic computational complexity to the length of the input sequence. To this end, this paper proposes a novel sequential recommender system, AutoMLP, aiming for better modeling users' long/short-term interests from their historical interactions. In addition, we design an automated and adaptive search algorithm for preferable short-term interest length via end-to-end optimization. Through extensive experiments, we show that AutoMLP has competitive performance against state-of-the-art methods, while maintaining linear computational complexity.

description: We theoretically study the conductivity in arrays of metallic grains due to the variable-range multiple cotunneling of electrons with short-range (screened) Coulomb interaction. The system is supposed to be coupled to random stray charges in the dielectric matrix that are only loosely bounded to their spatial positions by elastic forces. The flexibility of the stray charges gives rise to a polaronic effect, which leads to the onset of Arrhenius-like conductivity behavior at low temperatures, replacing conventional Mott variable-range hopping. The effective activation energy logarithmically depends on temperature due to fluctuations of the polaron barrier heights. We present the unified theory that covers both weak and strong polaron effect regimes of hopping in granular metals and describes the crossover from elastic to inelastic cotunneling.

description: Improving user retention with reinforcement learning~(RL) has attracted increasing attention due to its significant importance in boosting user engagement. However, training the RL policy from scratch without hurting users' experience is unavoidable due to the requirement of trial-and-error searches. Furthermore, the offline methods, which aim to optimize the policy without online interactions, suffer from the notorious stability problem in value estimation or unbounded variance in counterfactual policy evaluation. To this end, we propose optimizing user retention with Decision Transformer~(DT), which avoids the offline difficulty by translating the RL as an autoregressive problem. However, deploying the DT in recommendation is a non-trivial problem because of the following challenges: (1) deficiency in modeling the numerical reward value; (2) data discrepancy between the policy learning and recommendation generation; (3) unreliable offline performance evaluation. In this work, we, therefore, contribute a series of strategies for tackling the exposed issues. We first articulate an efficient reward prompt by weighted aggregation of meta embeddings for informative reward embedding. Then, we endow a weighted contrastive learning method to solve the discrepancy between training and inference. Furthermore, we design two robust offline metrics to measure user retention. Finally, the significant improvement in the benchmark datasets demonstrates the superiority of the proposed method.

description: Global Alliance for Genomics & Health (GA4GH) ‘Beacons’ enable the sharing of genomic and clinical data across federated networks. Data controllers can determine the access level granted to Beacon users depending on each user’s authentication and authorization status. The University of Leicester Beacon provides aggregated discovery across two public data sets and one controlled access sensitive data set. The open-access Beacon endpoint is https://beacon.cafevariome.org. In order to manage user identities, we have implemented the OpenID Connect authentication protocol for requesting, exchanging, and validating tokens between the Beacon and an OpenID Provider. Alongside our local Identity and Access Management (IAM) server we are currently introducing the ELIXIR AAI as a parallel OpenID Provider. We are extending this approach to manage user identities within Cafe Variome (https://www.cafevariome.org) data discovery private networks. Each user within a private network will have installation-specific permissions based on their own claims obtained from a single sign-on server and federated across the network using the OpenID Connect model.

description: In 2018, health insurance coverage rates and patterns in metropolitan (metro) and nonmetropolitan (nonmetro) areas were similar, according to research by the USDA, Economic Research Service (ERS). That year, 88.9 percent of working-age adults (aged 26–64) in metro counties and 87.5 percent of those in nonmetro counties had health insurance coverage. The source of employment had a greater effect on health insurance coverage than whether a worker lived in a nonmetro or metro county. In 2018, self-employed working-age adults were less likely to have health insurance coverage than those employed by private firms or governments, no matter where they lived (metropolitan or nonmetropolitan area). As a result, they may have found it difficult to access health care, as affordability often is tied to health insurance coverage.

description: We demonstrate that two-dimensional crystals made of active particles can experience extremely large spontaneous deformations without melting. Using particles mostly interacting via pairwise repulsive forces, we show that such active crystals maintain long-range bond order and algebraically-decaying positional order, but with an exponent $η$ not limited by the $\tfrac{1}{3}$ bound given by the (equilibrium) KTHNY theory. We rationalize our findings using linear elastic theory and show the existence of two well-defined effective temperatures quantifying respectively large-scale deformations and bond-order fluctuations. The root of these phenomena lies in the sole time-persistence of the intrinsic axes of particles, and they should thus be observed in many different situations.

description: In the digital era, soft skills are gaining increasing attention in higher education and in people's lives. To strike a balance between life and one's career, both hard and soft skills play pivotal roles, and both require careful cultivation. While hard skills can be obtained through formal education, soft skills are still somewhat limited in our educational systems. However, soft skills teach us how to survive, cooperate, and effectively communicate in society. These skills empower students to achieve success in both their personal and professional lives. This chapter explores into why soft skills are important and how they can help people succeed in academics and life.

description: Recently, deep learning methods have been shown to improve the performance of recommender systems over traditional methods, especially when review text is available. For example, a recent model, DeepCoNN, uses neural nets to learn one latent representation for the text of all reviews written by a target user, and a second latent representation for the text of all reviews for a target item, and then combines these latent representations to obtain state-of-the-art performance on recommendation tasks. We show that (unsurprisingly) much of the predictive value of review text comes from reviews of the target user for the target item. We then introduce a way in which this information can be used in recommendation, even when the target user's review for the target item is not available. Our model, called TransNets, extends the DeepCoNN model by introducing an additional latent layer representing the target user-target item pair. We then regularize this layer, at training time, to be similar to another latent representation of the target user's review of the target item. We show that TransNets and extensions of it improve substantially over the previous state-of-the-art.

description: A novel single-lead f-wave extraction algorithm based on the modern diffusion geometry data analysis framework is proposed. The algorithm is essentially an averaged beat subtraction algorithm, where the ventricular activity template is estimated by combining a newly designed metric, the "diffusion distance," and the non-local Euclidean median based on the non-linear manifold setup. We coined the algorithm DD-NLEM. Two simulation schemes are considered, and the new algorithm DD-NLEM outperforms traditional algorithms, including the average beat subtraction, principal component analysis, and adaptive singular value cancellation, in different evaluation metrics with statistical significance. The clinical potential is shown in the real Holter signal, and we introduce a new score to evaluate the performance of the algorithm.

description: We present measurements of the growth rate of cosmological structure from the modelling of the anisotropic galaxy clustering measured in the final data release of the VIPERS survey. The analysis is carried out in configuration space and based on measurements of the first two even multipole moments of the anisotropic galaxy auto-correlation function, in two redshift bins spanning the range $0.5 < z < 1.2$. We provide robust and cosmology-independent corrections for the VIPERS angular selection function, allowing recovery of the underlying clustering amplitude at the percent level down to the Mpc scale. We discuss several improvements on the non-linear modelling of redshift-space distortions (RSD) and perform detailed tests of a variety of approaches against a set of realistic VIPERS-like mock realisations. This includes using novel fitting functions to describe the velocity divergence and density power spectra $P_{θθ}$ and $P_{δθ}$ that appear in RSD models. These tests show that we are able to measure the growth rate with negligible bias down to separations of $5h^{-1}Mpc$. Interestingly, the application to real data shows a weaker sensitivity to the details of non-linear RSD corrections compared to mock results. We obtain consistent values for the growth rate times the matter power spectrum normalisation parameter of $fσ_8=0.55\pm 0.12$ and $0.40\pm0.11$ at effective redshifts of $z = 0.6$ and $z=0.86$ respectively. These results are in agreement with standard cosmology predictions assuming Einstein gravity in a $Λ\rm{CDM}$ background.

description: A long-standing scientific puzzle has been to explain the origin of the heaviest elements in the Universe and, more particularly, the production of the elements heavier than iron up to uranium. The rapid neutron capture process (or r-process) is known to synthesize about 50\% of these heavy elements and the long-lived actinides observed in our solar system and so-called metal-poor r-process-enhanced stars. This thesis aims to study the r-process nucleosynthesis and some of the uncertainties that still govern our predictions, namely, nuclear yields and heating rates. Our focus will be on the r-process in neutron star (NS) mergers, which is in the spotlight after recent ``multi-messenger'' observations, including the combined detection of gravitational waves from a NS-NS merger event and its subsequent electromagnetic counterpart. In this work, we base our nucleosynthesis calculations on hydrodynamical simulations of NS merger systems, which estimate the amount of ejected mass and its properties during ejection. Through our r-process calculations, we estimate the composition of this gravitationally unbound material, which can contribute to the r-process enrichment of the Galaxy. This work is divided into two studies, each addressing a remaining open question regarding the r-process nucleosynthesis. First, a coherent study of the impact of neutrino interactions on the r-process element nucleosynthesis and the heating rate produced by the radioactive decay of nuclei synthesized in the dynamical ejecta of NS-NS mergers is presented. We have studied the material ejected from four NS-NS merger systems based on hydrodynamical simulations...

description: A massive Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena (ABJM) model in $\mathcal{N} =1$ superspace is analysed by considering a Proca type mass term into the most general Faddeev-Popov action in a covariant gauge. The presence of mass term breaks the original BRST and anti-BRST invariance of the model. Further, the symmetry of the massive ABJM model is restored by extending the BRST and anti-BRST transformations. We show that the supergauge dependence of generating functional for connected diagrams occurs in presence of mass and ghost-anti-ghost condensates in the theory.

description: The generation, manipulation, storage, and detection of single photons play a central role in emerging photonic quantum information technology. Individual photons serve as flying qubits and transmit the quantum information at high speed and with low losses, for example between individual nodes of quantum networks. Due to the laws of quantum mechanics, quantum communication is fundamentally tap-proof, which explains the enormous interest in this modern information technology. On the other hand, stationary qubits or photonic states in quantum computers can potentially lead to enormous increases in performance through parallel data processing, to outperform classical computers in specific tasks when quantum advantage is achieved. Here, we discuss in depth the great potential of quantum dots (QDs) in photonic quantum information technology. In this context, QDs form a key resource for the implementation of quantum communication networks and photonic quantum computers because they can generate single photons on-demand. Moreover, QDs are compatible with the mature semiconductor technology, so that they can be integrated comparatively easily into nanophotonic structures, which form the basis for quantum light sources and integrated photonic quantum circuits. After a thematic introduction, we present modern numerical methods and theoretical approaches to device design and the physical description of quantum dot devices. We then present modern methods and technical solutions for the epitaxial growth and for the deterministic nanoprocessing of quantum devices based on QDs. Furthermore, we present the most promising concepts for quantum light sources and photonic quantum circuits that include single QDs as active elements and discuss applications of these novel devices in photonic quantum information technology. We close with an overview of open issues and an outlook on future developments.

description: Building interactive tools to support data analysis is hard because it is not always clear what to build and how to build it. To address this problem, we present Precision Interfaces, a semi-automatic system to generate task-specific data analytics interfaces. Precision Interface can turn a log of executed programs into an interface, by identifying micro-variations between the programs and mapping them to interface components. This paper focuses on SQL query logs, but we can generalize the approach to other languages. Our system operates in two steps: it first build an interaction graph, which describes how the queries can be transformed into each other. Then, it finds a set of UI components that covers a maximal number of transformations. To restrict the domain of changes to be detected, our system uses a domain-specific language, PILang. We give a full description of Precision Interface's components, showcase an early prototype on real program logs and discuss future research opportunities.
