Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose to apply three metaheuristic algorithms; latin hypercube sampling, ABC (artificial bee colony) algorithm, and parameter free GA (genetic algorithm), to search the optimal hyperparameters in the random forest, and investigate the prediction accuracy of bug-prone modules. In experiments with actual software development project data, we compare our refined ensemble learning algorithms with the existing machine learning approaches. It is shown that the random forests with metaheuristic refinement could provide the better predictive performances of the software bug prediction in average.
