I was notified that I had 2/4 papers accepted to #SIGCSE #Virtual this year:

1. Ethics integration into CS theory.

2. GenAI opinions across CS theory course.

I also am co-leading a working group about how CS education researchers use GenAI in their research workflows.

@PrincetonCS Just saw this - that’s me on the right! Congrats Anha!

@marcus_marcusg Some results from pubs I’ve seen from there in my area are…questionable to put it lightly. So this is not surprising, although none of those pubs are in this retraction list.

Maybe we need a better measure of journal quality?

Wow - Soft Computing journal publishes 211 retraction notes in the latest issue: https://t.co/h6BkLBLBTC

Some trivia about SODA 2025.

SODA 2025 accepted 192 papers out of 655 submissions. It could have accepted 292 papers without compromising on the quality but could not do so due to strict restrictions on the number of talk slots.

Accepted Paper list: https://t.co/yBH4pyzGVT

And finally, the panel was for discussing Computer Science pedagogy in Theory and Algorithms courses, and was going to feature some big names in both!

The decisions for #SIGCSE TS 2025 papers are out: and I completely struck out! 0 out of 5 papers/panels accepted. 4 of the 5 were full papers. I’m truly aghast because some of these were great works and had great conclusions, and even the reviewers thought so.

[Ryan Dougherty @ProfDougherty]

4. Analogies in an Operating Systems course - what types of analogies work best for students: none at all, instructor-generated, or student-generated?

[Ryan Dougherty @ProfDougherty]

@jkhuggins Got 0 for 5!

[Ryan Dougherty @ProfDougherty]

I have had three works accepted to #SIGCSE Virtual 2024: one paper, one poster, and am the co-chair of one working group. All about CS #theory! 🤓

[Ryan Dougherty @ProfDougherty]

@career_re As long as the committee thinks you will create more of these “cows” in the future, you’re set!

ChatGPT has gotten fairly far at interpreting images but isn’t quite 100% there yet. Would be great if it can generate LaTeX automatically from an image! It’s mostly there, mainly small layout issues.
