I work in a multi-disciplinary team at Microsoft that is responsible for designing and building the user experience for users using the Visual Studio .Net suite of products. Visual Studio .Net is a large product suite, comprising a variety of software tools such as code profilers, debuggers, bug tracking tools, testing tools, code editors and language compilers. Multiple programming languages a...

Providing students feedback on their exercise solutions is a crucial element of computer programming education. Such can be generated automatically and take various forms. This paper introduces proposes the use visual profiles code as form to students. The are based frequency elements belonging six distinct classes. core idea visually compare profile student-submitted solution range accepted (i...

This paper proposes an effective algorithm for visual code marker detection. It incorporates local binarization scheme and morphological image processing techniques with the pattern recognition method to achieve best performance. Experimental results have shown that the proposed detection algorithm is able to detect the visual code marker information quickly and accurately under different illum...

We propose a method that enables effective code reuse between evolutionary runs that solve a set of related visual learning tasks. We start with introducing a visual learning approach that uses genetic programming individuals to recognize objects. The process of recognition is generative, i.e., requires the learner to restore the shape of the processed object. This method is extended with a cod...

An assumption inherent in many models of visual space is that the spatial coordinates of retinal cells implicitly give rise to the perceptual code for position. The results of the experiments reported here, in which it is shown that retinally non-veridical locations of contour elements are used by the visual system for contour-element binding, lend support to a different view. The visual system...

A brain-computer-interface (BCI) allows the user to control a device or software with brain activity. Many BCIs rely on visual stimuli with constant stimulation cycles that elicit steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP) in the electroencephalogram (EEG). This EEG response can be generated with a LED or a computer screen flashing at a constant frequency, and similar EEG activity can be eli...
