Abstract

Unstructured software data, such as emails and discussions in technical forum, are a rich form of information about software systems. Nevertheless, mining this form of data is hard as it comprises different languages that cannot be processed with the same techniques.

In this chapter, we show how we can summarize unstructured software data by first giving it the structure it needs.
