About me
I am researching in the domain of Software Architecture Documentation and Natural Language Processing (NLP) with focus on Traceability Link Recovery and Inconsistency Detection combining various techniques such as NLP, Information Retrieval, and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, including Large Language Models (LLMs).
In my dissertation, I look at trace links between in software architecture documentation. My main contribution is recovering trace links between natural language software architecture documentation and software architecture models (and in another scenario also code). In a concrete use case, I use these trace links to automatically detect certain inconsistencies between the artifacts.
