About this paper

Param Khakhar and, Rahul Kumar Dubey

This paper evaluates combining Cluster-based Over-Sampling with Noise Filtering (KMFOS) and the Online Sequential Extreme Learning Machine (OS-ELM) for software defect prediction. This approach significantly improved recall scores by 40-70 percentage points across various NASA MDP datasets while maintaining computational efficiency, effectively addressing the challenge of class imbalance.

Key insights

  • Class imbalance is a critical barrier to effective software defect prediction, and addressing it is essential for acceptable model performance.
  • KMFOS effectively mitigates class imbalance by generating synthetic minority samples while filtering noise, preserving data distribution.
  • OS-ELM, when combined with appropriate oversampling, is a viable and computationally efficient classifier for SDP, offering stable performance.
