Predicting health indicators for open source projects (using hyperparameter optimization)
EMPIRICAL SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, 27(6).
author keywords: Hyperparameter optimization; Project health; Machine learning
TL;DR:
This is the largest study yet conducted, using recent data for predicting multiple health indicators of open-source projects, and finds that traditional estimation algorithms make many mistakes.

Applications of Psychological Science for Actionable Analytics
ESEC/FSE'18: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2018 26TH ACM JOINT MEETING ON EUROPEAN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING CONFERENCE AND SYMPOSIUM ON THE FOUNDATIONS OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, pp. 456–467.
author keywords: Decision trees; heuristics; software analytics; psychological science; empirical studies; defect prediction
TL;DR:
Assessment of Fast-and-Frugal Trees for software analytics finds that FFTs are remarkably effective in that their models are very succinct (5 lines or less describing a binary decision tree) while also outperforming result from very recent, top-level, conference papers.

Data-Driven Search-based Software Engineering
2018 IEEE/ACM 15TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MINING SOFTWARE REPOSITORIES (MSR), pp. 341–352.
TL;DR:
It is argued that combining these two fields is useful for situations which require learning from a large data source or when optimizers need to know the lay of the land to find better solutions, faster.

Too Much Automation? The Bellwether Effect and Its Implications for Transfer Learning
2016 31ST IEEE/ACM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AUTOMATED SOFTWARE ENGINEERING (ASE), pp. 122–131.
author keywords: Defect Prediction; Data Mining; Transfer learning
TL;DR:
This bellwether method is a useful (and very simple) transfer learning method; “bellwethers” are a baseline method against which future transfer learners should be compared; sometimes, when building increasingly complex automatic methods, researchers should pause and compare their supposedly more sophisticated method against simpler alternatives.

2016 journal article
Tuning for software analytics: Is it really necessary?
Information and Software Technology, 76, 135–146.
author keywords: Defect prediction; CART; Random forest; Differential evolution; Search-based software engineering
TL;DR:
This paper finds that it is no longer enough to just run a data miner and present the result without conducting a tuning optimization study, and that standard methods in software analytics need to change.
