The open source development community consists of both paid and volunteer developers as well as new and experienced users. Previous work has applied social network analysis (SNA) to open source communities and has demonstrated value in expertise discovery and triaging. One problem with applying...

Software development is difficult to model, particularly the noisy, non-stationary signals of changes per time unit, extracted from version control systems (VCSs). Currently researchers are utilizing timeseries analysis tools such as ARIMA to model these signals extracted from a project's VCS....

The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heart for physicians to use in diagnosing cardiac disorders. This paper investigates the multi-label, multi-class classification of ECG records into one or more of 27 possible medical diagnoses. Our multi-step approach...

The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is a commonly used tool for detecting cardiac abnormalities such as atrial fibrillation, blocks, and irregular complexes. For the PhysioNet/CinC 2020 Challenge, we built an algorithm using gradient boosted tree ensembles fitted on morphology and signal...

Consumer demand for longer lasting battery life in mobile computers, as well as industry interest in energy efficient cloud infrastructure, creates a need for hardware and software energy efficiency improvements. One way to tackle this problem is from a software perspective. If it were known...

Clone detection techniques essentially cluster textually, syntactically and/or semantically similar code fragments in or across software systems. For large datasets, similarity identification is costly both in terms of time and memory, and especially so when detecting near-miss clones where lines...

Natural languages like English are rich, complex, and powerful. The highly creative and graceful use of languages like English and Tamil, by masters like Shakespeare and Avvaiyar, can certainly delight and inspire. But in practice, given cognitive constraints and the exigencies of daily life,...

In the last decade, developers have been increasingly sharing their questions with each other through Question and Answer (Q&A) websites. As a result, these websites have become valuable knowledge repositories, covering a wealth of topics related to particular programming languages. This...

Researchers in empirical software engineering often make claims based on observable data such as defect reports. Unfortunately, in many cases, these claims are generalized beyond the data sets that have been evaluated. Will the researcher’s conclusions hold a year from now for the same software...
