We've recently released a preprint paper about our TinyTroupe open-source project developed at Microsoft. This is still very much under research and development, but the paper is meant to consolidate much of the principles and findings behind it so far. As this remains a preprint manuscript, any suggestion, important related work or constructive comment would be helpful to improve the paper and is very much welcomed. In particular, if you know of good specialized benchmarks to evaluate this kind of thing, please share. Thank you!
