Biography

I am a researcher in computer science. My research interests include real time systems, multimedia systems and programming languages.

I worked on Antescofo at Ircam during my PhD, under the supervision of Florent Jacquemard and Jean-Louis Giavitto, and more generally on systems with languages that express complex temporal relations.

I now perform large code analysis on R code bases at the Programming Research Lab in Prague.

I am also interested in linguistics and language education through technology.

Finding NA in serialized R values
In a previous post, I explained how to test a C++ function, find_na, used in a database for R values. find_na checks if NA is present or not in a previously serialized R value.

Testing C++ Code in R Packages
When you write a package in R, you probably write tests. A popular package for unit tests with R is testthat,1 with the final invocation: devtools::test() If your package also includes native code, let’s say, C++, you can test it by testing the R API that exercises the native functions.

Data Bugs

The goal of this project is to develop new programming language technologies to assist data scientists, using the R language for empirical validation of our novel ideas. The project is financed by the operational program Jan Amos Comenius and spans from March, 2023, to March, 2025.

Fuzzing R

Fuzzing R

R is a vector-oriented, dynamic language, mostly used in data-science. It is difficult to statically analyze, and so we mainly use dynamic techniques to gather insights about R programs. One instance of them is fuzzing.

Eval in R

Eval in R

The R language eval function is powerful and makes analysis difficult. WWhat are the usage of eval in R?

Rhythm Quantization

Rhythm Quantization

Rhythms are represented using trees and quantization is performed by applying rewrite rules on the rhythm trees.
