Fault localisation (FL) for DNNs is a rapidly evolving area of DL testing [1-5]. The decision logic of traditional software systems is encoded in their source code. Correspondingly, fault localisation for such systems consists of identifying the parts of code that are most likely responsible for the encountered misbehaviour. Unlike traditional software systems, however, the decision logic of DL systems depends on many components such as the model structure, selected hyper-parameters, training dataset, and the framework used to perform the training process. Moreover, DL systems are stochastic in nature, as a retraining with the exactly same parameters might lead to a slightly different final model and performance. These distinctive characteristics make the mapping of a misbehaviour (e.g., poor classification accuracy) to a specific fault type a highly challenging task. Existing state-of-the-art works [1, 2, 4, 6, 7] that focus on the problem of fault localisation for DL systems were shown to be adequate for this task when evaluated on different sets of real-world problems extracted from StackOverflow and GitHub platforms or were deemed useful by developers in the process of fault localisation and fixing [5].

Bengaluru: Global professional services company Accenture will acquire umlaut, an engineering consulting and services firm headquartered in Aachen, Germany for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition will scale Accenture's deep engineering capabilities to help companies use digital technologies like cloud, artificial intelligence, and 5G to transform how they design, engineer and manufacture their products as well as embed sustainability. The acquisition of umlaut will add more than 4,200 industry-leading engineers and consultants across 17 countries to Accenture's Industry X services, and expand the company's capabilities across a range of industries, including automotive, aerospace & defense, telecommunications, energy and utilities, Accenture said in a statement. Industry X combines Accenture's powerful data and digital capabilities with deep engineering expertise to offer clients the broadest suite of services for digitizing their engineering functions, factory floors and plant operations, improving productivity, speeding up the transformation of hardware into software-enabled products, and allowing for faster and more flexible product development. "We predicted that digital would ultimately be applied at scale to the core of a company's business - the design, engineering and manufacturing of their products. And, for nearly a decade Accenture has been building the unique capabilities and ecosystem partnerships to combine the power of digital with traditional engineering services," said Julie Sweet, chief executive officer, Accenture.

The standard QWERTY keyboard is a rather limited tool. Designed and tinkered with over the early 1870s by newspaper editor Christopher Latham Sholes, the typewriter configuration has barely changed since 1873, when the rights to the product were sold to E. Remington and Sons, which released the following keyboard: These days, we have a few extra characters at our fingertips. We have brackets, (round), [square], and {squiggly}. We have all the symbols we might need for typing fake $@*% words. But we still do not have our deliciously protracted, overapplied em dash--a beloved tool in many a writer's toolbox.
