• Abstract: In the realm of software development, the clarity, completeness, and comprehensiveness of requirements significantly impact the success of software systems. The Software Requirement Specification (SRS) document, a cornerstone of the software development life cycle, delineates both functional and nonfunctional requirements, playing a pivotal role in ensuring the quality and timely delivery of software projects. However, the inherent natural language representation of these requirements poses challenges, leading to potential misinterpretations and conflicts. This study addresses the need for conflict identification within requirements by delving into their semantic compositions and contextual meanings. Our research introduces an automated supervised conflict detection method known as the Supervised Semantic Similarity-based Conflict Detection Algorithm (S3CDA). This algorithm comprises two phases: identifying conflict candidates through textual similarity and employing semantic analysis to filter these conflicts. The similarity-based conflict detection involves leveraging sentence embeddings and cosine similarity measures to identify pertinent candidate requirements. Additionally, we present an unsupervised conflict detection algorithm, UnSupCDA, combining key components of S3CDA, tailored for unlabeled software requirements. Generalizability of our methods is tested across five SRS documents from diverse domains. Our experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed conflict detection strategy, achieving high accuracy in automated conflict identification.

  Conflicts could reflect the complexity of situations, changes that need to be explained and dealt with, difficulties in data annotation, and mistakes in generated outputs. This survey categorizes these conflicts into three key areas: (1) natural texts on the web, where factual inconsistencies, subjective biases, and multiple perspectives introduce contradictions; (2) human-annotated data, where annotator disagreements, mistakes, and societal biases impact model training; and (3) model interactions, where hallucinations and knowledge conflicts emerge during deployment. We highlight key challenges and future directions for developing conflict-aware NLP systems that can reason over and reconcile conflicting information more effectively
