Feature location is the activity of identifying an initial location in the source code that
implements functionality in a software system. Many feature location techniques have been …

This paper presents a novel yet intuitive approach to unsupervised feature learning. Inspired
by the human visual system, we explore whether low-level motion-based grouping cues can …

For a large and evolving software system, the project team could receive a large number of
bug reports. Locating the source code files that need to be changed in order to fix the bugs is …

Recent research has shown feasibility of an interactive pair-programming conversational
agent, but implementing such an agent poses three challenges: a lack of benchmark …

To deal with post-release bugs, many software projects set up public bug repositories for
users all over the world to report bugs that they have encountered. Recently, researchers …

Program comprehension is an important activity in software maintenance, as software must
be sufficiently understood before it can be properly modified. The study of a program's …

Debugging often takes much effort and resources. To help developers debug, numerous
information retrieval (IR)-based and spectrum-based bug localization techniques have been …

Locating buggy code is a time-consuming task in software development. Given a new bug
report, developers must search through a large number of files in a project to locate buggy …

In bug localization, a developer uses information about a bug to locate the portion of the
source code to modify to correct the bug. Developers expend considerable effort performing …

Feature location techniques aim at locating software artifacts that implement a specific
program functionality, aka a feature. These techniques support developers during various …
