Are artificial neural networks black boxes?

Artificial neural networks are efficient computing models which have shown their strengths in solving hard problems in artificial intelligence. They have also been shown to be universal approximators. Notwithstanding, one of the major criti...

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to a set of technologies through which "intelligent machines are gaining the ability to learn, improve and make calculated decisions in ways that enable them to perform tasks previously thought to rely so...

Metamodelling for software engineering

This book focuses on metamodelling as a discipline, exploring its foundations, techniques and results. It presents a comprehensive metamodel that covers process, product and quality issues under a common framework. Issues covered include: *...

Value-based software engineering

Much of current software engineering practice and research is done in a value-neutral setting, in which every requirement, use case, object, and defect is treated as equally important; methods are presented and practiced as largely logical ...

Holistic Parameter Optimization for Software Defect Prediction

A software defect prediction (SDP) model identifies the defect-prone modules. Setting appropriate parameters in an SDP model is critical because it affects the model performance. In a recent study, parameters were automatically explored usi...
