Abstract
Feature Location (FL) is a common task in the Software Engineering field, specially in maintenance and evolution of software products. The results of FL depend in a great manner in the style in which Feature Descriptions and software artifacts are written. Therefore, Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques are used to process them. Through this paper, we analyze the influence of the most common NLP techniques over FL in Conceptual Models through Latent Semantic Indexing, and the influence of human participation when embedding domain knowledge in the process. We evaluated the techniques in a real-world industrial case study in the rolling stocks domain.
