Mass Spectrometry Image Creator (Msic): Ion Mobility / Mass Spectrometry Imaging Workflow In Python, Stephen Creger, Julia Laskin, Daniela Mesa Sanchez

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium

Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful characterization technique that enables identification of compounds in complex mixtures. Acquiring mass spectra in a spatially-resolved manner (i.e. over a grid), allows the data to be used to generate images that show the spatial distribution and relative intensities of every compound in a sample. These images can be used to monitor and identify biomarkers, explore the metabolism of compounds within tissues, and much more. However, the limitations of mass spectrometry can result in ambiguous compound identifications. Another characterization tool, ion mobility spectrometry (IM) can be integrated into existing MS routines to address this problem; …


A Divide-And-Conquer Approach To Syntax-Guided Synthesis, Peiyuan Shen, Xiaokang Qiu Aug 2018

A Divide-And-Conquer Approach To Syntax-Guided Synthesis, Peiyuan Shen, Xiaokang Qiu

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium

Program synthesis aims to generate programs automatically from user-provided specifications. One critical research thrust is called Syntax-Guideds Synthesis. In addition to semantic specifications, the user should also provide a syntactic template of the desired program, which helps the synthesizer reduce the search space. The traditional symbolic approaches, such as CounterExample-Guided Inductive Synthesis (CEGIS) framework, does not scale to large search spaces. The goal of this project is to explore a compositional, divide-n-conquer approach that heuristically divides the synthesis task into subtasks and solves them separately. The idea is to decompose the function to be synthesized by creating a set of …
