A compositional model for effort‐aware Just‐In‐Time defect prediction on android apps by Kunsong Zhao, Zhou Xu, Meng Yan, Lei Xue, Wei Li, Gemma Catolino

“…In this study, a novel compositional model, called KPIDL, is proposed to conduct the JIT defect prediction task for Android apps. More specifically, KPIDL first exploits a feature learning technique to preprocess original data for obtaining better feature representation, and then introduces a state‐of‐the‐art cost‐sensitive cross‐entropy loss function into the deep neural network to alleviate the class imbalance issue by considering the prior probability of the two types of classes. …”
