While there has been a focus on improving the quality of SLRs in terms of the process, it remains unclear if this emphasis on rigor has also led to an increase in relevance. This study introduces Citation Context Analysis for SLRs as a method to go beyond simple citation counting by examining the reasons behind citations. To achieve this, we propose the Resonance Scheme, which characterizes how referring papers use SLRs based on the outputs that SLRs can provide, either backward-oriented (such as synthesis or aggregating evidence) or forward-oriented (such as theory building or identifying research gaps). A proof-of-concept demonstrates that most referring papers appreciate SLRs for their synthesis efforts, while only a small number refer to forward-oriented outputs. This approach is expected to be useful for three stakeholders. First, SLR producers can use the scheme to capture the contributions of their SLRs. Second, SLR consumers, such as Ph.D. students looking for research gaps, can easily identify the contributions of interest. Third, SLR reviewers can use the scheme as a tool to assess the contributions that merit SLR publication.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48633,"journal":{"name":"Computer Science Review","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 100649"},"PeriodicalIF":12.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141423843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While finding the pattern within the analyzed data represents the main task. This is performed by extracting representative features step, which is proceeded using the statistical algorithms or using some specific filters. However, the selection of useful features from large-scale data represented a crucial challenge. Now, with the development of convolution neural networks (CNNs), feature extraction operation has become more automatic and easier. CNNs allow to work on large-scale size of data, as well as cover different scenarios for a specific task. For computer vision tasks, convolutional networks are used to extract features and also for the other parts of a deep learning model. The selection of a suitable network for feature extraction or the other parts of a DL model is not random work. So, the implementation of such a model can be related to the target task as well as its computational complexity. Many networks have been proposed and become famous networks used for any DL models in any AI task. These networks are exploited for feature extraction or at the beginning of any DL model which is named backbones. A backbone is a known network trained and demonstrates its effectiveness. In this paper, an overview of the existing backbones, e.g. VGGs, ResNets, DenseNet, etc, is given with a detailed description. Also, a couple of computer vision tasks are discussed by providing a review of each task regarding the backbones used. In addition, a comparison in terms of performance is also provided, based on the backbone used for each task.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48633,"journal":{"name":"Computer Science Review","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 100645"},"PeriodicalIF":12.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141291570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, a large variety of NLSCG technical solutions have been proposed, and quite exciting experimental results have been reported. Meanwhile, current researches and initiative application projects in this area reflect a large diversity of NLSCG contexts and of major technical enablers. Such heterogeneity, fragmentation, and vagueness of the NLSCG technical landscape are currently frustrating the full realization of the NLSCG research and application vision. Players in this field could not find systematic guidelines on how to effectively address the ”known unknowns” and how to simply spot the ”unknown unknowns”, which eventually hinder the turning of NLSCG solutions into further research enhancements or production applications. Understanding the context, boundaries, capabilities, and integrations of NLSCG enablers is considered as one of the key drivers for the more practical application of NLSCG models. In this paper, we analyze in detail the natural language to source code pipelines and the evolvement of source code generation tasks, by considering both the problem context and technological aspects. A foresight reference framework for NLSCG is proposed to help handle the source code generation tasks with proper intelligent models. We review the present-day NLSCG technical landscape, as well as the core technical enablers along the source code generation pipelines.
