Dr. Sepideh Ghanavati receives recognition
Sepideh Ghanavati, assistant professor in the School of Computing and Information Science, co-authored a paper that recently received recognition at a major conference.
Gahnavati, along with co-authors Sarah Santos, Travis Breaux, Sara Haghighi and Tom Norton, wrote a paper titled “Requirements Satisfiability with In-Context Learning” and won the RE24 Challenge Award for Research Track at the RE24 Conference.
The research challenge, “Expanding the Frontiers of RE,” focuses on reshaping the frontiers of requirements engineering (RE). It evaluates submissions based on novelty, potential impact, and feasibility within the RE community.
The paper leverages recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) to generate and evaluate informal software specifications using authoritative design guidance and indicative requirements. It highlights the potential impact of LLMs on RE by making basic NLP tasks more accessible and provides adaptable experimental designs for future RE problems. The tools and results are publicly available, built on open-source frameworks, and use low-cost, cloud-based APIs, making them feasible for immediate adoption by companies.
