+====== Characterizing, Understanding, and Detecting Software Bugs in Machine Learning Frameworks ======
+**Course:** EECS4080
+**Supervisor:** Song Wang
+**Contact:** <wangsong@yorku.ca>
+Today, machine learning and its applications has been integrated into every part of our society. With the development and evolution of information technologies such as smartphones, self-driving cars, and robotics, the dependence of our society on machine learning systems continues to grow, which makes the impact and cost of bugs in these intelligent systems increase dramatically. Building reliable and secure machine learning systems has become an increasingly critical challenge for software developers. Thus, characterizing and understanding the root cause of software bugs in ML frameworks is critical to detecting and repairing buggy behavior.
+This project will first conduct an empirical study to analyze and summarize unique characteristics of software bugs collected from four typical ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, CNTK, and Theano). Based on the findings from the empirical study, we will further propose actionable guidelines for designing and exploring new software bug detection approaches to find new bugs on machine learning frameworks and their applications.

+====== Release Management for Mobile Apps ======
+**Course:** EECS4080
+**Supervisor:** Maleknaz Nayebi
+**Contact:** <mnayebi@yorku.ca>
+Release planning problem is addressing the question of what functionality should be included in any version and when that version should be released to different segments of users. Proper decision about the functionality of evolving software product releases is critical for the success or failure of a product.  The rise in popularity of mobile devices has led to a parallel growth in the size of the app store market, intriguing several research studies and commercial platforms on mining app stores. App store reviews are used to analyze different aspects of app development and evolution. This led into the concept of user driven release management. This project includes:
+(i) Evaluating the applicability of four state of the art release management tools for mobile apps,
+(ii) Testing and enhancing the prototype tools for these four release management techniques.
+**Required skills:** Good knowledge of Python, Ability to manage Git and Jupiter Notebooks, Good knowledge on Machine learning, Ability to work independently, Ability to communicate clearly.
