• Abstract: COVID 19 pandemic has disrupted the global market and workplace landscape. As a response, hybrid work situations have become popular in the software business sector. This way of working has an impact on software companies. This study investigates software companies responses to hybrid working. We conducted a large scale survey to achieve our objective. Our results are based on a qualitative analysis of 124 valid responses. The main result of our study is a taxonomy of software companies impacts on hybrid working at individual, team and organisation levels. We found higher positive responses at individual and organisational levels than negative responses. At the team level, both positive and negative impacts obtained a uniform number of responses. The results indicate that hybrid working became credible with the wave of COVID 19, with 83 positive responses outweighing the 41 negative responses. Software company respondents witnessed better work-life balance, productivity, and efficiency in hybrid working.

  Software professionals learned from their experience during the pandemic that most of their work can be done remotely. Now software companies are expected to adopt hybrid work models to avoid the resignation of talented professionals. However, there are no well-established hybrid work configurations to be followed in the post-pandemic period.

  We present a new task, Response Forecasting on Personas for News Media, to estimate the response a persona might have upon seeing a news message. The proposed task not only introduces personalization in the modeling but also predicts the sentiment polarity and intensity of each response. This enables more accurate and comprehensive inference on the mental state of the persona.

  We analyze data collected from more than 500 large-scale team competitions organized by a leading ride-sharing platform. Through a careful investigation of features and predictors, we are able to reduce out-sample prediction error by more than 24%. A simulated analysis shows that by simply changing a few contest design options, the average treatment effect of a real competition is expected to increase by as much as 26%.

  We study how to make better use of hard samples for improving the training. The correlation between hard positive and hard negative is overlooked, and so is the relation between the margins in positive and negative logits. We propose a novel Negative-Positive Collaboration loss, named NPCFace, which emphasizes the training on both negative and positive hard cases.

  We show that negative sampling is as important as positive sampling in determining the optimization objective and the resulted variance. We propose Metropolis-Hastings (MCNS) to approximate the positive distribution with self-contrast approximation and accelerate negative sampling by Metropolis-Hastings. We evaluate our method on 5 datasets that cover extensive downstream graph learning tasks, including link prediction, node classification and personalized recommendation.
