Sequential Model Optimization for Software Process Control
Tianpei Xia, Rui Shu, Xipeng Shen +1
Many methods have been proposed to estimate how much effort is required to build and maintain software. Much of that research assumes a ``classic'' waterfall-based approach rather…
Methods for Stabilizing Models across Large Samples of Projects (with case studies on Predicting Defect and Project Health)
Suvodeep Majumder, Tianpei Xia, Rahul Krishna +1
Despite decades of research, SE lacks widely accepted models (that offer precise quantitative stable predictions) about what factors most influence software quality. This paper pro…
How to Better Distinguish Security Bug Reports (using Dual Hyperparameter Optimization
Rui Shu, Tianpei Xia, Jianfeng Chen +2
Background: In order that the general public is not vulnerable to hackers, security bug reports need to be handled by small groups of engineers before being widely discussed. But l…
Better Security Bug Report Classification via Hyperparameter Optimization
Rui Shu, Tianpei Xia, Laurie Williams +1
When security bugs are detected, they should be (a)~discussed privately by security software engineers; and (b)~not mentioned to the general public until security patches are avail…
Software Engineering for Fairness: A Case Study with Hyperparameter Optimization
Joymallya Chakraborty, Tianpei Xia, Fahmid M. Fahid +1
We assert that it is the ethical duty of software engineers to strive to reduce software discrimination. This paper discusses how that might be done. This is an important topic sin…
