Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

The service interface mainly does only one thing.
But to a small extent the functionality can be
modified through e.g. parameters. The interface
name still describes the real functionality.
Or, no multi-functionality is conceivable in this
case, so strict coherence is fine. 1 10 10

14. Composability Index
Short explanation
The Composability Index is a very simple (but hopefully useful) metric to
find out how well a certain SOA service interface works when being used
for composition purposes.
The "good-weights" for each alternative (in each quality aspect) that are
used in the Index calculation (i.e. the grade given for an answer) can be
adapted to different environments, circumstances and architectural
principles. It should be between 0 and 10.
When the Excel file is used as a questionaire when reviewing a SOA
interface, only the yellow cells are to be changed. One and only one "1" is
to be filled in per aspect.
The "aspect counter" column is there just to caclulate the number of quality
aspects. Should the number of aspects change (insert/delete of Excel
rows) when the Index is adopted to a different setting, this should make the
formulae automatic. Thus, one single, fixed "1" is to exist per aspect in that
column.
A warning message is shown if the number of aspects is not equal to the
number of responses, thus that more than one alternative has been
entered for a specific aspect.
This Excel file could of course be developed into a much more advanced
tool, but probably this simple version will suffice for many cases.
