Bug report classification

Perform bug report classification with AI following the steps below:

  • Text filtering
  • Stemming
  • Indexing
  • Train machine learning models, i.e., Decision Tree, Naive Bayes, and Logistic Regression
  • Prediction (after data pre-processing)

Text filtering:

  • Punctuation removal
  • Specific transformations occur: the myUser has no meaning, its just a word. You need to split it into two meaningful words.
  • Stop words should not be removed, as it changes the whole meaning of a bug report.
  • Unlike other NLP tasks, removing stop words may distort the meaning of bug reports.

Stemming:

  • Stemming reduces different forms of a word to its common base by sequential application of stemming rules. For example: light caresses colours becomes Light caress colour

Indexing:

  • Indexing: we need to convert the text into numeric representation, there are two common ways of doing this: TF and IDF
  • TF: total words / specific word . for example: "bug" appears 50 times in a 150 terms.
  • IDF: We penalise certain words based on their frequency.
  • bug report classifications here often does not use IDF but TF, because some frequent terms should not be penalized
  • For each report, we will have a vector of indexing for words in the reports according to a dictionary
  • Example: A bug report = {“this”, “bugs”, “failure”, “interesting”, …} Vector = <0.123, 0.34, 0.1, ….>

DT

  • What is decision tree: a tree structure that split the data depending on different values.
  • Each node is a test on the attribute.
  • Each branch represents the outcome.

NB

  • What is Naive Bayes? Classifier based on the conditional probability given by the Bayes theorem.
  • Calculating the probability of each class, and classify the given features into the one with higher probability.

LR

  • What is logistic regression: a linear model for classification
  • Fitting the logistic growth and the sigmoid midpoint
  • Output a probability, but can use a cutoff point to decide class.

Results:

Choose the top 20/50 words when theyre used as a feature
