Software-specific part-of-speech tagging
Deheng Ye, Zhenchang Xing, Jing Li, Nachiket Kapre · 2016
Part-of-speech (POS) tagging performance degrades on out-of-domain data due to the lack of domain knowledge. Software engineering knowledge, embodied in textual documentations, bug reports and online forum discussions, is expressed in natural language, but is full of domain terms, software entities and software-specific informal languages. Such software texts call for software-specific POS tagging. In the software engineering community, there have been several attempts leveraging POS tagging technique to help solve software engineering tasks. However, little work is done for POS tagging on software natural language texts.
