Several machine learning (ML) algorithms in combination with natural language pro- cessing (NLP) techniques have been used in recent years in a promising way for the auto- matic classification of software requirements. Nevertheless, several works have focused on the English language. Due to the lack of work in the Spanish language, we performed a con- trolled experiment using ML algorithms in combination with text vectorization techniques to investigate the best combination for Spanish requirements classification. Based on f1- score metrics, we found the combination of SVM with TF-IDF performs better than other combinations, with a value of 0.95 for functional and 0.79 for non-functional classification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
