Text2Stories: Evaluating the Alignment Between Stakeholder Interviews and Generated User Stories
Dente, Francesco, Dalpiaz, Fabiano, Papotti, Paolo
Large language models (LLMs) can be employed for automating the generation of software requirements from natural language inputs such as the transcripts of elicitation interviews. However, evaluating whether those derived requirements faithfully reflect the stakeholders' needs remains a largely manual task. We introduce Text2Stories, a task and metrics for text-to-story alignment that allow quantifying the extent to which requirements (in the form of user stories) match the actual needs expressed by the elicitation session participants. Given an interview transcript and a set of user stories, our metric quantifies (i) correctness: the proportion of stories supported by the transcript, and (ii) completeness: the proportion of transcript supported by at least one story. We segment the transcript into text chunks and instantiate the alignment as a matching problem between chunks and stories. Experiments over four datasets show that an LLM-based matcher achieves 0.86 macro-F1 on held-out annotations, while embedding models alone remain behind but enable effective blocking. Finally, we show how our metrics enable the comparison across sets of stories (e.g., human vs. generated), positioning Text2Stories as a scalable, source-faithful complement to existing user-story quality criteria.

Course: CS-C3240 - Machine Learning D, 11.01.2021-09.04.2021
This course consists of lectures, exercises involving multiple-choice tests (MyCourse Quizzes), and a student project which will be peer-graded. You can freely collect points via the various course activities (quizzes and/or projects). In particular, you can reach the top grade solely by achieving full points in the multiple-choice tests or via the student project. There is no minimum requirement for any of the course activities. Thus you can freely decide where (quizzes and/or student project) to collect points.
