text: 'While requirements focus on how the user interacts with the system, user
stories concentrate on the purpose of software features. But in practice, functional
requirements are also described in user stories. For this reason, requirements
clarification is needed, especially when they are written in natural language
and do not stick to any templates (e.g., "as an X, I want Y so that Z ..."). However,
there is a lot of implicit knowledge that is not expressed in words. As a result,
natural language requirements descriptions may suffer from incompleteness. Existing
approaches try to formalize natural language or focus only on entirely missing
and not on deficient requirements. In this paper, we therefore present an approach
to detect knowledge gaps in user-generated software requirements for interactive
requirement clarification: We provide tailored suggestions to the users in order
to get more precise descriptions. For this purpose, we identify not fully instantiated
predicate argument structures in requirements written in natural language and
use context information to realize what was meant by the user.'
