As social media has matured, uploading video content has increased. Multiple videos of physical performances, such as dance, are difficult to integrate into high-quality videos without knowledge of video-editing principles. In this study, we present a system that automatically edits dance-performance videos taken from multiple viewpoints into a more attractive and sophisticated dance video. Our system can crop the frame of each camera appropriately by using the performer’s behavior and skeleton information. The system determines the camera switches and cut lengths following a probabilistic model of general cinematography guidelines and of knowledge extracted from expert experience. In this study, our system automatically edited a dance video of four performers taken from multiple viewpoints, and ten video-production experts evaluated the generated video. As a result of a comparison of another automatic editing system, our system tended to be performed better.

A System for Practicing Formations in Dance Performance Supported by Self-Pro...Shuhei Tsuchida
Collapsed formation in a group dance will greatly reduce the quality of the performance even if the dance in the group is synchronized with music. Therefore, learning the formation of a dance in a group is as important as learning its choreography. However, if someone cannot participate in practice, it is difficult for the rest of the members to gain a sense of the proper formation in practice. We propose a practice-support system for performing the formation smoothly using a self-propelled screen even if there is no dance partner. We developed a prototype of the system and investigated whether a sense of presence provided by both methods of practicing formations was close to the sense we really obtain when we dance with humans. The result verified that the sense of dancing with a projected video was closest to the sense of dancing with a dancer, and the trajectory information from dancing with a self-propelled robot was close to the trajectory information from dancing with a dancer. Practicing in situations similar to real ones is able to be done by combining these two methods. Furthermore, we investigated whether the self-propelled screen obtained the advantages of dancing with both methods and found that it only obtained advantages of dancing with projected video.
A Dance Performance Environment in which Performers Dance with Multiple Robot...Shuhei Tsuchida
In recent years, as robotics technology progresses, various mobile robots have been developed to dance with humans. However, up until now there have been no system for interactively creating a performance using multiple mobile robots. Therefore, performance using multiple mobile robots is still difficult. In this study, we construct a mechanism by which a performer can interactively create a performance while he/she considers the correspondence between his/her motion and the mobile robots' movement and light. Specifically, we developed a system that enables performers to freely create performances with multiple robotics balls that can move omunidirectionnally and have full color LEDs. Performers can design both the movements of the robotic balls and the colors of the LEDs. To evaluate the effectiveness of the system, we had four performers use the system to create and demonstrate performances. Moreover, we confirmed that the system performed reliably in a real environment.
Mimebot: Sphere-shaped Mobile Robot Imitating Rotational Movement (MoMM2016 p...Shuhei Tsuchida
When designing a performance involving people and mobile robots, we must consider the required functions and shape of the robot. However, it can be difficult to account for all of the requirements. In this paper, we discuss a mobile robot in the shape of a ball that is used in theatrical performances. Such a spherical robot should be agile and be able to roll like a ball. However, it is difficult to create a robot with all of these characteristics. Instead, we propose a mobile robot that can give the audience the optical illusion of the unique movements of a sphere by mounting a spherical LED display on a high-agility wheeled robot. The results of an experiment using a prototype indicate that this sort of robot can broaden the range of possible performances by giving the optical illusion of being a rolling sphere.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
