• Title: Pre-Trained Neural Language Models for Automatic Mobile App User Feedback Answer Generation
• Authors: Yue Cao, Fatemeh H. Fard
• Abstract summary: Studies show that developers' answers to the mobile app users' feedbacks on app stores can increase the apps' star rating. To help app developers generate answers that are related to the users' issues, recent studies develop models to generate the answers automatically. In this paper, we evaluate pre-trained neural language models (PTMs) to generate replies to the mobile app user feedbacks.

• Abstract: Studies show that developers' answers to the mobile app users' feedbacks on app stores can increase the apps' star rating. To help app developers generate answers that are related to the users' issues, recent studies develop models to generate the answers automatically. Aims: The app response generation models use deep neural networks and require training data. Pre-Trained neural language Models (PTM) used in Natural Language Processing (NLP) take advantage of the information they learned from a large corpora in an unsupervised manner, and can reduce the amount of required training data. In this paper, we evaluate PTMs to generate replies to the mobile app user feedbacks. Method: We train a Transformer model from scratch and fine-tune two PTMs to evaluate the generated responses, which are compared to RRGEN, a current app response model. We also evaluate the models with different portions of the training data. Results: The results on a large dataset evaluated by automatic metrics show that PTMs obtain lower scores than the baselines. However, our human evaluation confirms that PTMs can generate more relevant and meaningful responses to the posted feedbacks. Moreover, the performance of PTMs has less drop compared to other models when the amount of training data is reduced to 1/3. Conclusion: PTMs are useful in generating responses to app reviews and are more robust models to the amount of training data provided. However, the prediction time is 19X than RRGEN. This study can provide new avenues for research in adapting the PTMs for analyzing mobile app user feedbacks.

  Large Language Model (LLM) pretraining traditionally relies on autoregressive language modeling on randomly sampled data blocks from web-scale datasets. We take inspiration from human learning techniques like spaced repetition to hypothesize that random data sampling for LLMs leads to high training cost and low quality models which tend to forget data. In order to effectively commit web-scale information to long-term memory, we propose the LFR (Learn, Focus, and Review) pedagogy.
