Analysis and Interactive Visualization of Software Bug Reports2014 September 1900 (has links)
A software Bug report contains information about the bug in the form of problem description and comments using natural language texts. Managing reported bugs is a significant challenge for a project manager
when the number of bugs for a software project is large. Prior to the assignment of a newly reported bug to an appropriate developer, the triager (e.g., manager) attempts to categorize it into existing categories and looks for duplicate bugs. The goal is to reuse existing knowledge to fix or resolve the new bug, and she often
spends a lot of time in reading a number of bug reports. When fixing or resolving a bug, a developer also consults with a series of relevant bug reports from the repository in order to maximize the knowledge required for the fixation. It is also preferable that developers new to a project first familiarize themselves with the project along with the reported bugs before actually working on the project. Because of the sheer numbers and size of the bug reports, manually analyzing a collection of bug reports is time-consuming and ineffective. One of the ways to mitigate the problem is to analyze summaries of the bug reports instead of analyzing full bug reports, and there have been a number of summarization techniques proposed in the literature. Most of these techniques generate extractive summaries of bug reports. However, it is not clear how useful those generated extractive summaries are, in particular when the developers do not have prior knowledge of the bug reports.
In order to better understand the usefulness of the bug report summaries, in this thesis, we first reimplement a state of the art unsupervised summarization technique and evaluate it with a user study with nine participants. Although in our study, 70% of the time participants marked our developed summaries as a
reliable means of comprehending the software bugs, the study also reports a practical problem with extractive
summaries. An extractive summary is often created by choosing a certain number of statements from the bug
report. The statements are extracted out of their contexts, and thus often lose their consistency, which makes it hard for a manager or a developer to comprehend the reported bug from the extractive summary. Based on the findings from the user study and in order to further assist the managers as well as the developers, we thus propose an interactive visualization for the bug reports that visualizes not only the extractive summaries but also the topic evolution of the bug reports. Topic evolution refers to the evolution of technical topics discussed in the bug reports of a software system over a certain time period. Our visualization technique interactively visualizes such information which can help in different project management activities. Our proposed visualization also highlights the summary statements within their contexts in the original report for easier comprehension of the reported bug. In order to validate the applicability of our proposed visualization technique, we implement the technique as a standalone tool, and conduct both a case study with 3914 bug reports and a user study with six participants. The experiments in the case study show that our topic analysis
can reveal useful keywords or other insightful information about the bug reports for aiding the managers or triagers in different management activities. The findings from the user study also show that our proposed visualization technique is highly promising for easier comprehension of the bug reports.

Maskininlärning för automatisk extrahering av citat från recensioner : Med användning av BERT, Inter-Sentence Transformer och artificiella neuronnätverk / Machine learning for automatic extraction of quotes from reviews : Using BERT, Inter-Sentence Transformer, and artificial neural networksHällgren, Clara, Kristiansson, Alexander January 2021 (has links)
Att manuellt välja en eller flera meningar ur en filmrecension att använda som citat kan vara en tidskrävande uppgift. Denna rapport utvärderar övervakade maskininlärningsmodeller för att skapa en prototyp som automatiskt kan välja lämpliga citat ur recensioner. Utifrån resultatet av en litteraturstudie valdes två modeller att implementera och utvärdera på data bestående av filmrecensioner och tillhörande manuellt valda citat. Av arbetets två implementerade modeller, BERT med Inter-Sentence Transformer och BERT med ett artificiellt neuronnät, visade den sistnämnda marginellt bättre resultat. Modellerna utvärderades med ROUGE och jämfördes med tidigare studiers toppresultat inom automatisk textsummering. Slutsatsen är att de modeller som utvärderades inte presterar tillräckligt väl inom problemområdet för att motivera en driftsättning utan ytterligare utvecklingsarbete. Dock visar resultaten att det finns potential i att de utvärderade tillvägagångssätten delvis kan ersätta manuella val av citat i framtiden. / To choose a number of sentences from a movie review to use as a quote can be time consuming if done manually. This thesis evaluates supervised machine learning models to create a prototype that automatically can choose such quotes. The thesis chose, based on a literature study, two models to implement and evaluate on data consisting of movie reviews and their respective corresponding manually chosen quotes. Out of the thesis two implemented models, BERT with Inter-Sentence Transformer and BERT with an artificial neural network, the latter showed marginally better results. The models were evaluated with ROUGE and was compared with state-of-the-art models regarding automatic text summarization. The conclusion is that the models that were evaluated do not perform well enough for the problem to motivate full deployment without further development efforts. However, the results show that there is potential that the evaluated methods can partially replace manual labour when choosing quotes.
