MOOT: a Repository of Many Multi-Objective Optimization Tasks
Tim Menzies, Tao Chen, Yulong Ye +4
Software engineers must make decisions that trade off competing goals (faster vs. cheaper, secure vs. usable, accurate vs. interpretable, etc.). Despite MSR's proven techniques for…
Less Noise, More Signal: the DRR Effect for Better Optimizations of a Range of SE Tasks
Andre Lustosa, Tim Menzies
SE analytics problems do not always need complex AI. Better and faster solutions can sometimes be obtained by matching the complexity of the problem to the complexity of the soluti…
Streamlining Software Reviews: Efficient Predictive Modeling with Minimal Examples
Tim Menzies, Andre Lustosa
This paper proposes a new challenge problem for software analytics. In the process we shall call "software review", a panel of SMEs (subject matter experts) review examples of soft…
iSNEAK: Partial Ordering as Heuristics for Model-Based Reasoning in Software Engineering
Andre Lustosa, Tim Menzies
A "partial ordering" is a way to heuristically order a set of examples (partial orderings are a set where, for certain pairs of elements, one precedes the other). While these order…
Fairer Software Made Easier (using "Keys")
