Duplicate Bug Report Summarization

Abstract

As bug reports are often duplicated, researchers have proposed detecting and classifying duplicate bug reports. Researchers also utilized the duplicated relationships of bug reports to summarize a bug report. However, to the best of our knowledge, the previous bug report summarization is limited to single document summarization techniques. In this paper, we propose applying a multi-document summarization technique to duplicate bug reports so as to obtain more informative summaries. In our work, we demonstrate the results of summarizing duplicate bug reports with our multi-document summarization technique and discuss our future research direction. © 2022 Copyright for this paper by its authors.
