Artificial intelligence for software engineering: an initial review on software bug detection and prediction

The need for speed and quality in delivering all software engineering artifacts has inevitably remained the biggest challenge in today’s software development environment. While everyone caters to complex software engineering processes, new releases are expected by the market on almost a daily basis. Thus, several Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have been introduced that are intensively used in the modern software engineering industry to fulfill market needs. This paper presents the initial results of our review work on software bug detection and prediction studies using AI techniques. Our focus is to (i) identify factors affecting the effectiveness of current software bug detection and prediction techniques and (ii) identify the effectiveness of AI techniques in improving current software bug detection and prediction techniques. The evidence showed that the software engineering domain has utilized artificial intelligence approaches and techniques to facilitate the complex tasks of software bug detection and bug prediction. It mainly demonstrates the significance of merging artificial intelligence with the software engineering domain in terms of reduced overhead and efficient results to enhance the quality of software products

Multi-perspectives systematic review on the applications of sentiment analysis for vaccine hesitancy

A substantial impediment to widespread Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccination is vaccine hesitancy. Many researchers across scientific disciplines have presented countless studies in favor of COVID-19 vaccination, but misinformation on social media could hinder vaccination efforts and increase vaccine hesitancy. Nevertheless, studying people's perceptions on social media to understand their sentiment presents a powerful medium for researchers to identify the causes of vaccine hesitancy and therefore develop appropriate public health messages and interventions. To the best of the authors' knowledge, previous studies have presented vaccine hesitancy in specific cases or within one scientific discipline (i.e., social, medical, and technological). No previous study has presented findings via sentiment analysis for multiple scientific disciplines as follows: (1) social, (2) medical, public health, and (3) technology sciences. Therefore, this research aimed to review and analyze articles related to different vaccine hesitancy cases in the last 11 years and understand the application of sentiment analysis on the most important literature findings. Articles were systematically searched in Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, IEEEXplore, ScienceDirect, and Ovid from January 1, 2010, to July 2021. A total of 30 articles were selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. These articles were formed into a taxonomy of literature, along with challenges, motivations, and recommendations for social, medical, and public health and technology sciences. Significant patterns were identified, and opportunities were promoted towards the understanding of this phenomenon
