Guided Metamorphic Transformations for Testing the Robustness of Trained Code2Vec Models

Machine learning models are increasingly being used within software engineering for their predictions. Research shows that these models’ performance is increasing with new research. This thesis focuses on models for method name prediction, for which the goal is to have a model that can accurately predict method names. With this thesis, we could...

Machine Learning for Software Refactoring: a Large-Scale Empirical Study

Refactorings tackle the challenge of architectural degradation of object-oriented software projects by improving its internal structure without changing the behavior. Refactorings improve software quality and maintainability if applied correctly. However, identifying refactoring opportunities is a challenging problem for developers and...
