Undergraduate paper accepted at ICSME 2025

A paper by our undergraduate students Prachnachai Meakpaiboonwattana, Warittha Tarntong, and Thai Mekratanavorakul was accepted in the research track of ICSME 2025, the 41st International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution, which CORE ranks A. Titled “Social Media Reactions to Open Source Promotions: AI-Powered GitHub Projects on Hacker News”, it looks at what happens on GitHub after an open-source AI project is shared on Hacker News. The team analyzed over 2,000 posts and their linked repositories. After a project was shared on Hacker News, its forks, stars, and contributors increased, which suggests the site helps developers gain visibility and build a community. Their work began during a summer internship at NAIST.
