Abstract
⺠We apply an advanced IR technique, called topic models, to source code histories. ⺠High-level topic evolutions are created that describe the changes to source code. ⺠We examine whether the topic evolutions are accurate and meaningful to developers. ⺠After two case studies, we conclude that topic models are mostly accurate and meaningful.
