DeepTriage

Abstract

For a given software bug report, identifying an appropriate developer who could potentially fix the bug is the primary task of bug triaging. Automatic bug triaging is formulated as a classification problem, which takes the bug title and description as the input, and maps it to one of the available developers. A major challenge in doing this is that the bug description usually contains a combination of unstructured text, code snippets, and stack traces making the input data highly noisy. The existing bag-of-words (BOW) models do not consider the semantic information in the unstructured text.
