TEXT RETRIEVAL-BASED TAGGING OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING VIDEO TUTORIALS

ICSE 2017 - BUENOS AIRES - ARGENTINA

We present the first efforts towards new tagging approaches using text retrieval that describe the contents of software engineering video tutorials.

Text retrieval-based tagging of software engineering video tutorials

Javier Escobar-Avila, Esteban Parra, Sonia Haiduc Conferences

Video tutorials are an emerging form of documentation in software engineering and can efficiently provide developers with useful information needed for their daily tasks. However, to get the information they need, developers have to find the right tutorial for their task at hand. Currently, there is little information available to quickly judge whether a tutorial is relevant to a topic or helpful to the task at hand, which can lead to missing the best tutorials and wasting time watching irrelevant ones. We present the first efforts towards new tagging approaches using text retrieval that describe the contents of software engineering video tutorials, making it easier and faster to understand their purpose and contents. We also present the results of a preliminary evaluation of thirteen such approaches, revealing the potential of some and limitations of others.

UNSUPERVISED SOFTWARE CATEGORIZATION USING BYTECODE

ICPC 2015 - FLORENCE - ITALY

We propose a novel approach that uses semantic information recovered from byte code and an unsupervised algorithm to assign categories to software systems.

Unsupervised Software Categorization Using Bytecode

Javier Escobar-Avila, Mario Linares-Vásquez, Sonia Haiduc Conferences

Automatic software categorization is the task of assigning software systems or libraries to categories based on their functionality. Correctly assigning these categories is essential to ensure that relevant software can be easily retrieved by developers from large repositories. State of the art approaches either rely on the availability of the source code, or use supervised machine learning approaches, which require a set of already labeled software as training data. These restrictions make current approaches fail when such information is not available. We propose a novel approach, which overcomes these limitations by using semantic information recovered from byte code and an unsupervised algorithm to assign categories to software systems. We evaluated our approach in a study on the Apache Foundation Repository of Java libraries and the results indicate that our approach is able to correctly identify a correct category for 86% of the libraries.

AUTOMATIC CATEGORIZATION OF SOFTWARE LIBRARIES USING BYTECODE

ICSE 2015 - FLORENCE - ITALY

We propose a novel unsupervised approach for the automatic categorization of Java libraries, which uses the bytecode of a library in order to determine its category.

Unsupervised Software Categorization Using Bytecode

Javier Escobar-Avila, Mario Linares-Vásquez, Sonia Haiduc Conferences

Automatic software categorization is the task of assigning categories or tags to software libraries in order to summarize their functionality. Correctly assigning these categories is essential to ensure that relevant libraries can be easily retrieved by developers from large repositories. Current categorization approaches rely on the semantics reflected in the source code, or use supervised machine learning techniques, which require a set of labeled software as a training data. These approaches fail when such information is not available. We propose a novel unsupervised approach for the automatic categorization of Java libraries, which uses the bytecode of a library in order to determine its category. We show that the approach is able to successfully categorize libraries from the Apache Foundation Repository.

A MODEL FOR AUTOMATIC CATEGORIZATION OF SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS USING NON-PARAMETRIC CLUSTERING AND BYTECODE ANALYSIS

BOGOTÁ - COLOMBIA

In this document, we describe a novel approach for the automatic categorization of Java libraries, which needs only the bytecode of a library in order to determine its category. We show that the approach, based on Dirichlet Process Clustering with automatic labeling, is able to successfully categorize libraries from the Apache Foundation Repository.

A model for automatic categorization of software applications using non-parametric clustering and bytecode analysis

Javier Escobar-Avila Theses

Automatic software categorization is the task of assigning software systems or libraries to categories based on their functionality. Correctly assigning these categories is essential to ensure that relevant libraries can be easily retrieved by developers from large repositories. State of the art approaches rely on the semantics reflected by identifiers and comments in the source code of the libraries in order to determine their category. However, these approaches fail when the source code of the libraries is not available. In this document, we describe a novel approach for the automatic categorization of Java libraries, which needs only the bytecode of a library in order to determine its category. We show that the approach, based on Dirichlet Process Clustering with automatic labeling, is able to successfully categorize libraries from the Apache Foundation Repository.
