Making Sense of Data in Software Engineering Data Analytics

Abstract:

Software Engineering has been shifting its primary focus from traditional software development techniques to utilizing a diverse range of techniques such as machine learning and statistics to understand and making sense of software data observed, in order to making and communicating decisions from data. In this seminar, we are focusing on our predictive analytics in software defect predictions on the class imbalance issue and its effects of resampling approaches, as well as their significant effects on defect prioritization and classification problems. Furthermore, we show new experimentations on utilizing Convolutional Neural Network CNN on Deep Learning to improve bug localization as well as its applications to future directions in software engineering.
