When they describe their wishes for software development, they often provide off-topic information. We therefore present an automated approach for identifying and semantically annotating the on-topic parts of the given descriptions. It is designed to support requirement engineers in the requirement elicitation process on detecting and analyzing requirements in user-generated content. Since no lexical resources with domain-specific information about requirements are available, we created a corpus of requirements written in controlled language by instructed users and uncontrolled language by uninstructed users. We annotated these requirements regarding predicate-argument structures, conditions, priorities, motivations and semantic roles and used this information to train classifiers for information extraction purposes. The approach achieves an accuracy of 92% for the on- and off-topic classification task and an F1-measure of 72% for the semantic annotation.","lang":"eng"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","citation":{"bibtex":"@inproceedings{Dollmann_Geierhos_2016, place={Austin, TX, USA}, title={On- and Off-Topic Classification and Semantic Annotation of User-Generated Software Requirements}, booktitle={Proceedings of the 2016 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)}, publisher={Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)}, author={Dollmann, Markus and Geierhos, Michaela}, year={2016}, pages={1807–1816} }","short":"M.
