Extracting Knowledge From Unstructured Data -

Applications of Machine Learning in Software Engineering

Master Seminar (IN2107, IN8901)

Summary

This seminar focuses on techniques from machine learning and data mining, and surveys their application in software engineering.
In particular, the seminar investigates how such techniques aid program comprehension, help to analyze and interpret large amounts of user input, and facilitate the extraction of relevant knowledge from unstructured data.

During the seminar each participant will present a machine learning technique including a particular application in software engineering.
