- Abstract summary: We propose a novel emerging issue detection approach named MERIT.
Based on the AOBST model, we infer the topics negatively reflected in user reviews for one app version.
Experiments on popular apps from Google Play and Apple's App Store demonstrate the effectiveness of MERIT.

- Abstract: Millions of mobile apps are available in app stores, such as Apple's App
Store and Google Play. For a mobile app, it would be increasingly challenging
to stand out from the enormous competitors and become prevalent among users.
Good user experience and well-designed functionalities are the keys to a
successful app. To achieve this, popular apps usually schedule their updates
frequently. If we can capture the critical app issues faced by users in a
timely and accurate manner, developers can make timely updates, and good user
experience can be ensured. There exist prior studies on analyzing reviews for
detecting emerging app issues. These studies are usually based on topic
modeling or clustering techniques. However, the short-length characteristics
and sentiment of user reviews have not been considered. In this paper, we
propose a novel emerging issue detection approach named MERIT to take into
consideration the two aforementioned characteristics. Specifically, we propose
an Adaptive Online Biterm Sentiment-Topic (AOBST) model for jointly modeling
topics and corresponding sentiments that takes into consideration app versions.
Based on the AOBST model, we infer the topics negatively reflected in user
reviews for one app version, and automatically interpret the meaning of the
topics with most relevant phrases and sentences. Experiments on popular apps
from Google Play and Apple's App Store demonstrate the effectiveness of MERIT
in identifying emerging app issues, improving the state-of-the-art method by
22.3% in terms of F1-score. In terms of efficiency, MERIT can return results
within acceptable time.

Pairwise Matching function-point between Users Feedback and App Updating Log [3.750389260169302]
This paper proposes a quantitative analysis approach based on the temporal correlation perception that exists in the app update log and user reviews.
The main idea of this scheme is to consider valid user reviews as user requirements and app update logs as developer responses.
It was found that 16.6%-43.2% of the feature of these apps would be related to the drive from the online popular user requirements.

Evolving software with an increasing number of features is harder to understand and thus harder to use.
Too much functionality can easily impact usability, maintainability, and resource consumption.
Previous work showed that the deletion of functionality is common and sometimes driven by user reviews.

We propose a new framework, PPrior, that enables proactive prioritization of app issues through identifying prominent reviews.
PPrior employs a pre-trained T5 model and works in three phases.
Phase one adapts the pre-trained T5 model to the user reviews data in a self-supervised fashion.
Phase two, we leverage contrastive training to learn a generic and task-independent representation of user reviews.

In peer review, reviewers are usually asked to provide scores for the papers.
To mitigate this issue, conferences have started to ask reviewers to additionally provide a ranking of the papers they have reviewed.
There are no standard procedure for using this ranking information and Area Chairs may use it in different ways.
We take a principled approach to integrate the ranking information into the scores.

In this paper, we examine the trends in how Android apps have changed over time with respect to privacy.
We examine the adoption of HTTPS, whether apps scan the device for other installed apps, the use of permissions for privacy-sensitive data, and the use of unique identifiers.
We find that privacy-related behavior has improved with time as apps continue to receive updates, and that the third-party libraries used by apps are responsible for more issues with privacy.
