Statistical Debugging: Simultaneous Identification of Multiple Bugs


Look at those authors' addresses, CMU, Berkeley, Wisconsin-Madison and Stanford and consider who Jordan is. I am really curious how statisical learning is applied to such a delicated area, debugging. In my personal experience, debugging is really time-consuming and confidence-consuming :-p

However, I don't think that paper gives me a basic idea of how it is gonna work. Perhaps I have to know what they did previously. Here are several paper in its references:
  • Statistical debugging of sampled programs, NIPS 2004, the same authors
  • The first author's home page. I find her a Ph.D. of Jordan and now post-doctor at CMU. Astonished.
