2019 journal article

Improving Vulnerability Inspection Efficiency Using Active Learning

IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, 47(11), 2401–2420.

By: Z. Yu n , C. Theisen*, L. Williams n & T. Menzies n 

author keywords: Inspection; Software; Tools; Security; Predictive models; Error correction; NIST; Active learning; security; vulnerabilities; software engineering; error correction
TL;DR: HARMLESS is an incremental support vector machine tool that builds a vulnerability prediction model from the source code inspected to date, then suggests what source code files should be inspected next, then provides feedback on when to stop. (via Semantic Scholar)
