通过“DUO“实现更好的软件分析:使用优化器的数据采掘算法
Better Software Analytics via "DUO": Data Mining Algorithms Using/Used-by Optimizers
摘要:
本文认为,一个新的领域的实证软件工程的研究和实践正在出现:数据采掘使用/使用优化器的实证研究或DUO。例如,数据挖掘器可以生成由优化器探索的模型。此外,优化器可以建议如何最好地调整数据挖掘机的控制参数。这种综合方法就像一个探员靠在分析师的肩膀上,建议“接下来问这个问题”或“忽略那个问题,它与你的目标无关”。此外,这些代理可以帮助我们构建“更好”的预测模型,其中“更好”可以是更高的预测准确性或更快的建模时间(这反过来又可以探索更广泛的选择)。我们还警告说,仅仅使用数据挖掘机的论文时代即将结束。从未优化的数据挖掘器中获得的结果可以很快被反驳,只需应用优化器来生成不同的(并且性能更好的)模型。因此,我们的结论是,对于软件分析来说,使用DUO将数据采掘和优化结合起来是可能的、有用的和必要的。
英文摘要:
This paper claims that a new field of empirical software engineering research and practice is emerging: data mining using/used-by optimizers for empirical studies or DUO. For example, data miners can generate models that are explored by optimizers. Also, optimizers can advise how to best adjust the control parameters of a data miner. This combined approach acts like an agent leaning over the shoulder of an analyst that advises "ask this question next" or "ignore that problem, it is not relevant to your goals". Further, those agents can help us build "better" predictive models, where "better" can be either greater predictive accuracy or faster modeling time (which, in turn, enables the exploration of a wider range of options). We also caution that the era of papers that just use data miners is coming to an end. Results obtained from an unoptimized data miner can be quickly refuted, just by applying an optimizer to produce a different (and better performing) model. Our conclusion, hence, is that for software analytics it is possible, useful and necessary to combine data mining and optimization using DUO.
