Analysing the Impact of Inline Comments for the Task of Code Captioning

AI-assisted development tools use Machine Learning models to help developers achieve tasks such as Method Name Generation, Code Captioning, Smart Bug Finding and others. A common practice among data scientists training these models is to omit inline code comments from training data. We hypothesize that including inline comments in the training...

Automating Valuations for Real-Estate

As GeoPhy is developing its business model and looking into the future of automated valu- ation models (AVM), this project delivers a proof of concept of a system that automates the training, maintaining, and delivery of machine learning models for automated valuations. In order to achieve this goal, the situation and problem were first analysed...

Recommending Log Placement Based on Code Vocabulary

Logging is a common practice of vital importance that enables developers to collect runtime information from a system. This information is then used to monitor a system's performance as it runs in production and to detect the cause of system failures. Besides its importance, logging is still a manual and difficult process. Developers rely on...

Automated Detection of Code Smells for Machine Learning Applications

The popularity of machine learning has wildly expanded in recent years. Machine learning techniques have been heatedly studied in academia and applied in the industry to create business value. However, there is a lack of guidelines for code quality in machine learning applications. Although machine learning code is usually integrated as a small...

A Monitoring System for Machine Learning Models in a Large-Scale Context

Since building a machine learning model costs a lot while following 9 stages, the automated machine learning model creation became a crucial role in a large-scale context. At the same time, a monitoring system became an essential factor for machine learning models. This thesis presents the monitoring system for machine learning models at ING in...

Vulnerability prealerting by monitoring the online repositories of open source projects

Software security plays a crucial role in the modern world governed by software. And while closed source projects can enjoy a sense of confidentiality when addressing security issues, open source projects undertake them publicly even though just as many projects rely on them. In 50% of documented cases, the vulnerabilities could have been...
