We use the concept of conditional mutual information (MI) to approach problems involving the selection of variables in the area of medical diagnosis. Computing MI requires estimate...
The first goal of this paper is to empirically explore the relationships between existing object-oriented coupling, cohesion, and inheritance measures and the probability of fault...
This contribution defines a metrics and proposes a solution for the problem of agents inaccessibility in multi-agent systems. We define the stand-in pattern for knowledge mainten...
This paper describes a study performed in an industrial setting that attempts to build predictive models to identify parts of a Java system with a high probability of fault. The s...
In the context of spoken language interpretation, this paper introduces a stochastic approach to infer and compose semantic structures. Semantic frame structures are directly deri...
