项目摘要

Social communication channels (e.g., Stack Overflow, Slack, and GitHub) play an increasingly important role in software developer productivity, as developers use these channels to collaborate and coordinate activities. Researchers have shown additional value in mining information from these sources to develop and improve recommendation systems, software integrated development environments, and other tools. Users of these systems complain about the varying and often poor quality of the information shared on these channels despite the intrinsic mechanisms for maintaining quality (e.g., voting, accepted answers). This project aims to address the need for automation in curating for increased quality of the information shared in developer communication channels. The envisioned system uses multiple software developers' social communication channels as parallel sources of evidence to establish quality of information in each channel.This project will contribute to the state of the art by tackling three major challenges to bring automated curation of developer communication into practical use. The first aim is to develop analyses for automatically determining and improving the quality of developers' interactive communications on social media sites with regard to quality concerns including poor software properties, obsolescence, contradictions, unreliable sources, and duplication. The second aim is to explore different feedback mechanisms to indicate quality findings back to the communities. Third, the project will develop techniques to customize quality measurement and feedback to a particular developer's context. The resulting tools, data sets, and experimental infrastructure developed as part of the project will be released, enabling other researchers and practitioners to build on the project's results and ultimately advance the quality of the modern software development ecosystem.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

社交沟通渠道（例如，Stack Overflow、Slack和GitHub）在软件开发人员的生产力中发挥着越来越重要的作用，因为开发人员使用这些渠道来协作和协调活动。研究人员已经证明了从这些来源中挖掘信息的额外价值，以开发和改进推荐系统，软件集成开发环境和其他工具。这些系统的用户抱怨在这些信道上共享的信息的变化和经常差的质量，尽管有用于保持质量的内在机制（例如，投票，接受答案）。该项目旨在解决管理自动化的需求，以提高开发人员沟通渠道中共享信息的质量。该设想的系统使用多个软件开发人员的社交沟通渠道作为并行的证据来源，以建立每个渠道中的信息质量。该项目将通过解决三个主要挑战，将开发人员沟通的自动化策展投入实际使用，从而为最先进的技术做出贡献。第一个目标是开发分析，以自动确定和提高开发人员在社交媒体网站上的互动通信质量，包括软件性能差，过时，矛盾，不可靠的来源和重复。第二个目标是探索不同的反馈机制，向社区反馈高质量的调查结果。第三，该项目将开发技术，以定制质量测量和反馈到特定的开发人员的上下文。作为该项目的一部分开发的工具、数据集和实验基础设施将被发布，使其他研究人员和从业人员能够在该项目的成果基础上进一步发展，并最终提高现代软件开发生态系统的质量。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
