> >	Identifying which new bug reports are duplicates of previous reports is one task a bug triager performs. This can be a daunting task in large projects where there are thousands of reports to search through. We use the approach of event detection systems from Topic Detection and Tracking (TDT) research that identify whether a news story describes a new, previously unseen event or a old news event. A tool has been implemented which indicates if a new report is unique or a duplicate. If the report is believed to be a duplicate, the tool suggests which previous reports might be duplicates. A study is being conducted to determine how beneficial the duplicate detection tool would be to bug triagers, given the accuracy of the current approach. We are looking at what effects the tool would have on a triager's duplicate detection accuracy and their workload. Future plans include implementing the tool as a Firefox extension. If you are interested in participating in the study or would like to be notified when the tool becomes available, email Lyndon Hiew.
