Our paper "Data Augmentation for Improving Emotion Recognition in Software Engineering Communication" by Imran, Yashashvi, myself, and Kosta Damevski is accepted at ASE 2024. Preprint to come soon! 🧵⬇️ SOAR Lab

Understanding the quality of the information in the mining source is essential for building effective data-driven software tools. I will be presenting our tosem paper "Automatically Identifying the Quality of Developer Chats for Post Hoc Use" as a J1 at ASE 2024 2022.

The preprint is ready now: preethac.github.io/files/ASE_2022…

SOAR lab welcomes our first Ph.D. student Amirali to the team! Amirali's research interests are in software engineering (SE), and ML applications to SE.

I am creating a list of books to read/buy for professional development, including productivity, writing, and technical books (Software Engineering, Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing). What are your recommendations? #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

Our paper "Interpersonal trust in OSS: Exploring dimensions of trust in GitHub pull requests" with Amirali Kosta Damevski got accepted to the ICSE NIER track 🎉. Very proud of my Ph.D. student Amirali for his first publication! Preprint to follow.

We investigated various dimensions of trust exhibited on GitHub pull requests. Our findings provide preliminary insights into cues that might be helpful to automatically assess team dynamics and establish interpersonal trust in OSS teams. Preprint: preethac.github.io/files/ICSE_NIE…

We are excited to present our work at ICSE 2023 on 16th May Tuesday, at 10:15 PM EST. Please join us and bring in your questions! Schedule: conf.researchr.org/track/icse-202… Preprint: preethac.github.io/files/ICSE_NIE…

In case you missed it, here is the recorded version of my talk at Never work in theory (NWiT' 23). This work is on trust in software teams, recently published at ICSE NIER. youtu.be/lkatTyerkwg

Good news from FSE 2025! Two papers got accepted to the Ideas, Vision and Reflections track🎉. 1. "Exploring Moral Principles Exhibited in OSS: A Case Study on GitHub Heated Issues" with my Ph.D. student Ramtin and Shadi Rezapour AND...

Toxic language can harm open-source collaboration, especially for underrepresented contributors. Our study examines toxic behavior in open-source using Moral Foundations Theory. 🧵 Preprint: arxiv.org/pdf/2307.15631…

Emotions play a significant role in teamwork and collaborative activities like software development. Our paper FSE 2025 explores the broad spectrum of emotions expressed in developer chats. 🧵 Preprint: preethac.github.io/files/FSE_23_E…

Our paper "Exploring ChatGPT for Toxicity Detection in GitHub" has been accepted at ICSE NIER. We explored various prompts, including justifications for model outputs. We integrated ChatGPT into Slack to design a bot that is capable of generating non-toxic alternatives.

Very pleased to close out the year with 2 papers accepted to the ICSE research track! Both of these papers are in collaboration with Kosta Damevski and @ImranQTC. Early preprints: preethac.github.io/files/ICSE_24_… preethac.github.io/files/ICSE_24_…

Excited to share that our paper "Incivility in Open Source Projects" got accepted at MSR 2025, Data Showcase Track! Shoutout to my Ph.D. student, Ramtin Ehsani, and collaborators @ImranQTC, Robert M. Zita, and Kosta Damevski for this valuable dataset. Preprint: preethac.github.io/files/MSR24_In…

Assistant professor Preetha Chatterjee, PhD was honored with the Distinguished Reviewer Award at the ACM ESEC/FSE conference! 🏆 Her contributions in reviewing research showcased her expertise in software engineering. Congratulations, Dr. Chatterjee! 🔗 bit.ly/3V4V8wE
