1st Workshop on Natural Language Processing Advancements for Software Engineering

NLPaSE 2020


Co-located with the 27th Asia Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC 2020)

01 December 2020, Singapore (VIRTUAL)

NLPaSE Goals

Natural Language Processing (NLP) has played an important role in automating the various software engineering processes (e.g., requirements analysis, requirements elicitation, identifying design artefacts, test automation, maintenance, etc.). The need for automation in the Software Engineering domain pushed the use of various techniques for reducing the effort and cost-cutting where ever possible. The automation is not only limited to software development it reaches to the automobile, embedded systems, and others. Specifically, the requirements are volatile in nature and it requires a huge amount of effort in assessing their quality and so on. NLP and its advancements have brought a lot of changes in analyzing the software artefacts and processing the information.

The main goal of the NLPaSE workshop is to bring out the existing techniques, their limitations, and discussions which may result in future collaborations and advancements. We also aim to set up NLPaSE as a regular meetup event at APSEC future editions starting from this year. Another important goal is to identify the areas where NLP was applied (limitation, challenges), can be applied (possible directions), and bring out the researchers/industry practitioners in a platform to interact, share their experiences and collaborate.

We look forward to your contribution and participation in NLPaSE 2020.

The proceedings SEED-NLPaSE-2020 are now online at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2799/
