Finding associations between natural and computer languages: A case-study of bilingual LDA applied to the bleeping computer forum posts
Journal of Systems and Software, Volume 201, Issue C•Jul 2023 • https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jss.2023.111651AbstractIn the context of technical support, trails of technical discussions often contain a mixture of natural language (e.g., English) and software log excerpts. Uncovering latent links between certain problems and log excerpts that are often requested ...
Highlights- We expanded the selection of related studies from the bimodality/dual-channel area.
- We discussed alternative approaches that balance two languages in LDA models.
- We revised certain paragraphs of the paper to improve its soundness ...

Correlating Social Interactions to Release History During Software Evolution
ICSEW '07: Proceedings of the 29th International Conference on Software Engineering Workshops•May 2007, pp 7In this paper, we propose a method to reason about the nature of software changes by mining and correlating discussion archives. We employ an information retrieval approach to find correlation between source code change history and history of social ...

Boxology of NBA and TA: A Basis for Understanding Software Architecture
WCRE '05: Proceedings of the 12th Working Conference on Reverse Engineering•November 2005, pp 187-195• https://doi.org/10.1109/WCRE.2005.10Box-and-arrow diagrams seem inevitable for presentation of software architecture; however, the term "boxology" often mocks their over-use, especially when informal. We introduce in this paper a formal boxology to serve as a semantic domain for graph-...

Completeness of a Fact Extractor
The process of software reverse engineering commonlyuses an extractor, which parses source code and extractsfacts about the code. The level of detail in these factsvaries from extractor to extractor. This paper describesfour levels of increasingly ...

Agile Parsing in TXL
Automated Software Engineering, Volume 10, Issue 4•October 2003, pp 311-336 • https://doi.org/10.1023/A:1025801405075Syntactic analysis forms a foundation of many source analysis and reverse engineering tools. However, a single standard grammar is not always appropriate for all source analysis and manipulation tasks. Small custom modifications to the grammar can make ...

Stability and Volatility in the Linux Kernel
IWPSE '03: Proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Principles of Software Evolution•September 2003, pp 95Packages are the basic units of release and reuse in software development. The contents and boundaries of packages should therefore be chosen to minimize change propagation and maximize reusability. This suggests the need for a predictive measure of ...
