DeepTriage

For a given software bug report, identifying an appropriate developer who could potentially fix the bug is the primary task of a bug triaging process. A bug title (summary) and a detailed description is present in most of the bug tracking systems. Automatic bug triaging algorithm can be formulated as a classification problem, which takes the bug title and description as the input, mapping it to one of the available developers (class labels). The major challenge is that the bug description usually contains a combination of free unstructured text, code snippets, and stack trace making the input data highly noisy. In the past decade, there has been a considerable amount of research in representing a bug report using tf-idf based bag-of-words feature (BOW) model. However, BOW model do not consider the syntactical and sequential word information available in the descriptive sentences.
