Generation of Realistic Navigation Paths for Web Site Testing using RNNs and GANs

by Marco Brambilla, posted in big data, data science, event, software engineering

we propose a method that focuses on the generation of REALISTIC NAVIGATIONAL PATHS, i.e., web logs. Our approach is extremely relevant because it can at the same time tackle the problem of lack of publicly available data about web navigation logs, and also be adopted in industry for AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF REALISTIC TEST SETTINGS of Web sites yet to be deployed.

Coronavirus stories and data

Are open source projects governed by rich clubs?

by Marco Brambilla, posted in big data, data science, social network analysis, software engineering

we analyze open source projects to determine whether they exhibit a rich-club behavior, that is a phenomenon where contributors with a high number of collaborations are likely to cooperate with other well-connected individuals. The presence or absence of a rich-club has an impact on the sustainability and robustness of the project. We build and study a dataset with the 100 most popular projects in GitHub.
