Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Chunget al.have proposed a graphical model that captures the interdependencies between design alternatives in terms of synergy and trade‐offs. This model can assist in identifying quality/risk trade‐offs early in the lifecycle of software development, such as architectural design and testing process choices. The Chunget al.method is an analysis framework only: their technique does not include an execution or analysis module. This paper presents a simulation tool developed to analyze such a model, and techniques to facilitate decision making by reducing the space of options worth considering. Our techniques combine Monte Carlo simulations to generate options with a machine learner to determine which option yields the most/least favorable outcome. Experiments based on the above methodology were performed on two case studies, and the results showed that treatment learning successfully pinpointed the key attributes among uncertainties in our test domains.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
