Cost-Sensitive Margin Distribution Optimization for Software Bug Localization
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is costly to identify bugs from numerous source code files in a large software project. Thus, locating bug automatically and effectively becomes a worthy problem. Bug report is one of the most valuable source of bug description, and precisely locating related source codes linked to the bug reports can help reducing software development cost. Currently, most of the research on bug localization based on deep neural networks focus on design of network structures while lacking attention to the loss function, which impacts the performance significantly in prediction tasks. In this paper, a cost-sensitive margin distribution optimization (CSMDO) loss function is proposed and applied to deep neural networks. This new method is capable of handling the imbalance of software defect data sets, and improves the accuracy significantly.

Support vector machine (SVM) is a popular classification technique which classifies data using a max-margin separator hyperplane. The normal vector and bias of the mentioned hyperplane is determined by solving a quadratic model implies that SVM training confronts by an optimization problem. Among of the extensions of SVM, cost-sensitive scheme refers to a model with multiple costs which conside...

متن کاملSpectral debugging: How much better can we do?
This paper investigates software fault localization methods which are based on program spectra – data on execution profiles from passed and failed tests. We examine a standard method of spectral fault localization: for each statement we determine the number of passed and failed tests in which the statement was/wasn’t executed and a function, or metric, of these four values is used to rank state...

This paper presents a new model updating approach for structural damage localization and quantification. Based on the Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC), a new damage-sensitive cost function is introduced by employing the main diagonal and anti-diagonal members of the calculated Generalized Flexibility Matrix (GFM) for the monitored structure and its analytical model. Then, ...
