Overview of the project In this research project, we aim to address the following research question: “What are the primary reasons that text descriptions of mobile apps fail to refer to the use of privacy-sensitive resources?” To answer the research question, we developed a framework called ACODE (Analyzing COde and DEscription), which combines static code analysis and text analysis. We developed light-weight techniques so that we can handle hundred of thousands of distinct text descriptions. We note that our text analysis technique does not require manually labeled descriptions; hence, it enables us to conduct a large-scale measurement study without requiring expensive labeling tasks. Our analysis of 200,000 apps and multilingual … Continue reading ACODE
