As demand for computer software continually increases, software scope and complexity become higher than ever. The software industry is in real need of accurate estimates of the project under development. Software development effort…
Many existing data mining algorithms use feature values directly in their model, making them sensitive to units/scales used to measure/represent data. Pre-processing of data based on rank transformation has been suggested as a potential…
Effort estimation is a key factor for software project success, defined as delivering software of agreed quality and functionality within schedule and budget. Traditionally, effort estimation has been used for planning and tracking project…
Background. Effort-aware metrics (EAMs) are widely used to evaluate the effectiveness of software defect prediction models, while accounting for the effort needed to analyze the software modules that are estimated defective. The usual…
Background: Adaptation technique is a crucial task for analogy based estimation. Current adaptation techniques often use linear size or linear similarity adjustment mechanisms which are often not suitable for datasets that have complex…
Software cost estimation is one of the prerequisite managerial activities carried out at the software development initiation stages and also repeated throughout the whole software life-cycle so that amendments to the total cost are made. In…
Process mining supports the analysis of the actual behavior and performance of business processes using event logs. % such as, e.g., sales transactions recorded by an ERP system. An essential requirement is that every event in the log must…
Given that AI systems are set to play a pivotal role in future decision-making processes, their trustworthiness and reliability are of critical concern. Due to their scale and complexity, modern AI systems resist direct interpretation, and…
Protein dynamics play a crucial role in protein biological functions and properties, and their traditional study typically relies on time-consuming molecular dynamics (MD) simulations conducted in silico. Recent advances in generative…
Context: The utility of prediction models in empirical software engineering (ESE) is heavily reliant on the quality of the data used in building those models. Several data quality challenges such as noise, incompleteness, outliers and…
We present CAFA-evaluator, a powerful Python program designed to evaluate the performance of prediction methods on targets with hierarchical concept dependencies. It generalizes multi-label evaluation to modern ontologies where the…
Class-level evaluation can conceal substantial performance disparities across subconcepts within the same class, causing models that perform well on average to fail on specific subpopulations. Prior work has shown that common evaluation…
Recent developments in regularized Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) promise powerful methods for high-dimensional, multiview data analysis. However, justifying the structural assumptions behind many popular approaches remains a…
In the era of big data, ensuring the quality of datasets has become increasingly crucial across various domains. We propose a comprehensive framework designed to automatically assess and rectify data quality issues in any given dataset,…
Statistical analysis is the tool of choice to turn data into information, and then information into empirical knowledge. To be valid, the process that goes from data to knowledge should be supported by detailed, rigorous guidelines, which…
Expert judgment for software effort estimation is oriented toward direct evidences that refer to actual effort of similar projects or activities through experts' experiences. However, the availability of direct evidences implies the…
AB testing aids business operators with their decision making, and is considered the gold standard method for learning from data to improve digital user experiences. However, there is usually a gap between the requirements of practitioners,…
Both in the domains of Feature Selection and Interpretable AI, there exists a desire to `rank' features based on their importance. Such feature importance rankings can then be used to either: (1) reduce the dataset size or (2) interpret the…
Automated data quality assessment is crucial for managing big data, but existing solutions face challenges in achieving accurate context-aware assessment. This paper presents a novel knowledge-based approach to enhance automated data…
A novel approach for comparing quality attributes of different products when there is considerable product-related variability is proposed. In such a case, the whole range of possible realizations must be considered. Looking, for example,…
