Mozilla released the largest public dataset of human voices available for use last year. Mozilla Firefox is a popular, open-source web browser, used by millions today.

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.

We've all been there - you are just in the middle of finishing an important email when your laptop crashes and you lose your hard work. But it seems that your laptop alone might not be to blame. A new series of tests conducted by Microsoft suggest that Google Chrome could be the reason your laptop battery is always dying. The tests streamed the same video on four unplugged, identical laptops, each on a different browser. While Google Chrome is the most popular internet browser, a series of tests by Microsoft - who are Google's rival - have shown how much the search engine is draining your laptop battery.
