Studying software evolution using topic models

TL;DR: LDADE, a search-based software engineering tool which uses Differential Evolution (DE) to tune the LDA’s parameters, is used to provide a method in which distributions generated by LDA are more stable and can be used for further analysis.

TL;DR: There is a current need for more studies on aspect and feature oriented metrics, especially for the current interest in programming concerns and software product lines.

TL;DR: The background and advancement of topic modeling techniques can be found in this paper, where the authors introduce the preliminaries of the topic modelling techniques and review its extensions and variations, such as hierarchical topic modeling over various domains, hierarchical topic modelling, word embedded topic models, and topic models in multilingual perspectives.

TL;DR: This paper used topic modeling techniques to extract hot-topics from mobile-development related questions and suggests that most of the questions include topics related to general questions and compatibility issues, and the most specific topics are present in a reduced set of questions.

TL;DR: The author examines the role of entropy, inequality, and randomness in the design of codes and the construction of codes in the rapidly changing environment.

TL;DR: This work proposes a generative model for text and other collections of discrete data that generalizes or improves on several previous models including naive Bayes/unigram, mixture of unigrams, and Hofmann's aspect model.

TL;DR: This paper proposed a generative model for text and other collections of discrete data that generalizes or improves on several previous models including naive Bayes/unigram, mixture of unigrams, and Hof-mann's aspect model, also known as probabilistic latent semantic indexing (pLSI).

TL;DR: Scientific knowledge grows at a phenomenal pace--but few books have had as lasting an impact or played as important a role in our modern world as The Mathematical Theory of Communication, published originally as a paper on communication theory more than fifty years ago.
