Expertise-Based Developer Assignment for Long-Term Software Components in Open-Source Projects

Aug 06, 2026

This study addresses the lack of effective mechanisms for matching developer expertise to new long-term software components in open-source projects, a gap that leads to inefficient task assignment and degraded code maintainability. Focusing specifically on the allocation of developers to long-term modules, this work proposes a novel approach that constructs a developer expertise model based on historical Git commits and integrates project structure to enable precise recommendations. The method combines commit data analysis, expertise modeling, model inference, and server-side caching. Experimental results demonstrate that 72.4% of target developers were ranked within the top 10 recommendations out of a pool of 47 candidates, and the incorporation of caching improved worst-case response time by a factor of 9.86.

Optimizing IoT Intrusion Detection with Tabular Foundation Models for Smart City Forensics

Apr 13, 2026

This study addresses the dual demands of real-time performance and high accuracy in intrusion detection for smart city IoT environments, where conventional high-accuracy ensemble methods like Random Forest are often impractical due to excessive computational overhead. To bridge this gap, the work introduces TabPFNv2.5—a tabular foundation model—into IoT security forensics for the first time, proposing a hybrid detection architecture that combines rapid initial screening with refined classification. Specifically, TabPFNv2.5 performs efficient preliminary filtering, followed by an ensemble model for precise final decisions. Experiments on the TON IoT dataset demonstrate that TabPFNv2.5 achieves 40× faster inference than Random Forest while maintaining a binary classification accuracy of 97%. The study also identifies a performance bottleneck in scan attack detection (F1 = 69.8%) and highlights the critical role of feature similarity in enabling cross-device generalization.
