A survey of Web clustering engines
2009
ACM Computing Surveys
We discuss how to compare the retrieval effectiveness of a clustering engine to that of a plain search engine and how to compare different clustering engines, including an experimental study of the subtopic ...
The concept (or entity) recognition that multiple search engines are working on (for finding e.g., people, products, books) also seems related to clustering of search results [Ye et al. 2003 ]. ...
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We are very grateful to three anonymous reviewers for their constructive suggestions and comments. ...

A methodology for engineering ontology acquisition and validation
2008
Artificial intelligence for engineering design, analysis and manufacturing
Current information retrieval approaches based on statistical methods and keyword matching are not effective in understanding the context of engineering content. ...
A search system based on the EO and EL has been developed and tested. The retrieval performance test further justifies the effectiveness of the EO and EL as well as the ontology development method. ...

Engineering Privacy
2009
IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
We use a three-layer model of user privacy concerns to relate them to system operations (data transfer, storage, and processing) and examine their effects on user behavior. ...
In the second part of this paper, we develop guidelines for building privacy-friendly systems. We distinguish two approaches: "privacy-by-policy" and "privacy-by-architecture." ...

Holistic recommender systems for software engineering
2014
Companion Proceedings of the 36th International Conference on Software Engineering - ICSE Companion 2014
Any improvement in the search process would result in time saved for the developers. ...
For example, to help developers in the first phase, queries can be automatically generated [HBM + 13] so that development artifacts can be retrieved according to a specific code entity, and notified to ...
Mixing community features in Stack Overflow and textual features to retrieve relevant help is a goal targeted by several approaches when building their own search engine, without reusing existing ones. ...

The ABC of Software Engineering Research
2018
ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology
We illustrate these research strategies in two key SE domains: global software engineering and requirements engineering, and apply the framework on a sample of 75 articles. ...
ABC refers to the research goal which strives for generalizability over Actors (A), precise measurement of their Behavior (B), in a realistic Context (C). ...
While the various classifications discussed above each have a specific focus and strengths, their discussion remains at the level of individual research methods and techniques. Furthermore, they ...

Search Engines that Learn from Their Users
2016
SIGIR Forum
Search engines are now the predominant instance of IR systems and in this thesis the terms "information retrieval" and "search" are interchangeable. ...
Examples of common contexts would be common preceding queries, types of users or localization on a high enough granularity. ...
In OpenSearch, our living labs setting, we focus exclusively on head queries for a number of reasons: 1. This allows us to evaluate experimental search systems on the same set of queries. 2. ...

Advancing Trace Recovery Evaluation - Applied Information Retrieval in a Software Engineering Context
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
Finally, we present how tools and methods are evaluated in the general field of IR research, and propose a taxonomy of evaluation contexts tailored for IR-based trace recovery. ...
To tackle this issue, several researchers have proposed treating the capture and recovery of trace links as an Information Retrieval (IR) problem. ...

Assessing traceability of software engineering artifacts
2010
Requirements Engineering
This paper concentrates on examining issues not previously widely studied in the context of traceability: the importance of the vocabulary base used for tracing and the evaluation and assessment of traceability ...
We examine these areas and perform empirical studies to understand the importance of each to the traceability of software engineering artifacts. ...
Generally speaking, vocabulary base has a more pronounced effect on the behavior of LSI retrieval, as it affects the dimensionality of the starting matrix for the LSI process and thus may significantly ...
