{PDF} Advances in Machine Learning Applications in Software Engineering Du Zhang, Du Zhang; Jeffrey J. P. Tsai

“Machine learning is the study of building computer programs that improve their performance through experience. To meet the challenge of developing and maintaining larger and complex software systems in a dynamic and changing environment, machine learning methods have been playing an increasingly important role in many software development and maintenance tasks. Advances in Machine Learning Applications in Software Engineering provides analysis, characterization, and refinement of software engineering data in terms of machine learning methods. This book depicts applications of several machine learning approaches in software systems development and deployment, and the use of machine learning methods to establish predictive models for software quality. Advances in Machine Learning Applications in Software Engineering also offers readers direction for future work in this emerging research field.”
