• Title: Can Transformer Models Effectively Detect Software Aspects in StackOverflow Discussion?
• Authors: Nibir Chandra Mandal, Tashreef Muhammad and G. M. Shahariar
• Abstract summary: Developers are constantly searching for all of the benefits and drawbacks of each API, framework, tool, and so on. One of the typical approaches is to examine all of the features through official documentation and discussion. In this paper, we have used a benchmark API aspects dataset (Opiner) collected from StackOverflow posts.

• Abstract: Dozens of new tools and technologies are being incorporated to help developers, which is becoming a source of consternation as they struggle to choose one over the others. For example, there are at least ten frameworks available to developers for developing web applications, posing a conundrum in selecting the best one that meets their needs. As a result, developers are continuously searching for all of the benefits and drawbacks of each API, framework, tool, and so on. One of the typical approaches is to examine all of the features through official documentation and discussion. This approach is time-consuming, often makes it difficult to determine which aspects are the most important to a particular developer and whether a particular aspect is important to the community at large. In this paper, we have used a benchmark API aspects dataset (Opiner) collected from StackOverflow posts and observed how Transformer models (BERT, RoBERTa, DistilBERT, and XLNet) perform in detecting software aspects in textual developer discussion with respect to the baseline Support Vector Machine (SVM) model. Through extensive experimentation, we have found that transformer models improve the performance of baseline SVM for most of the aspects, i.e., `Performance', `Security', `Usability', `Documentation', `Bug', `Legal', `OnlySentiment', and `Others'. However, the models fail to apprehend some of the aspects (e.g., `Community' and `Potability') and their performance varies depending on the aspects. Also, larger architectures like XLNet are ineffective in interpreting software aspects compared to smaller architectures like DistilBERT.

  In the post-deep learning era, the Transformer architecture has demonstrated its powerful performance across pre-trained big models and various downstream tasks. To further reduce the complexity of attention models, numerous efforts have been made to design more efficient methods. Among them, the State Space Model (SSM), as a possible replacement for the self-attention based Transformer model, has drawn more and more attention in recent years.

We implement such models ourselves as "proof-of-concept" tools and empirically confirm that they behave in a fundamentally different, more effective way than the studied translation-based architectures.
