Abstract
The research focuses on developing an improved system for generating and analyzing text by combining GPT-2, LSTM, and CNN models to address challenges in automated content creation for software engineering tasks. The system targets specific applications such as requirements engineering, software documentation, and code comment generation. It generates 150-token text samples based on over 100 user-provided prompts. These generated texts are first processed through an LSTM layer to capture semantic meaning, then passed through a CNN module to extract syntactic and semantic features. All outputs are stored in structured CSV files to support future analysis. Evaluation results demonstrate positive impacts on coherence, diversity, and domain relevance. A case study involving documentation generation for a real-world software project confirms the system's practical value in streamlining development workflows. Our work formalizes the role of hybrid language models in explicitly engineered environments and offers concrete recommendations for advancing future research in NLP-driven software development.
Reason for Retraction
This article has been retracted at the request of the Editorial Office, following an internal investigation conducted in accordance with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Retraction Guidelines.
The investigation identified serious concerns affecting the integrity and reliability of the published work. Specifically, one or more of the following issues were confirmed:
-
Undisclosed use of computer-generated text and/or data, in which substantial portions of the content were produced using algorithmic or artificial intelligence–based tools without transparent disclosure, contrary to the journal's authorship and transparency policies.
-
Compromised peer-review process, indicating irregularities that undermine the validity, independence or authenticity of the review procedure.
-
Inappropriate or misleading citations, including references that are irrelevant, improperly used, or appear to artificially inflate citation metrics, thereby distorting the scholarly record.
-
Authorship-related concerns, including the addition of new author(s) at a later stage of the publication process without adequate justification, documentation, or transparent disclosure, raising unresolved questions regarding author contributions, responsibility, and compliance with the journal's authorship criteria.
The Editorial Office determined that these issues significantly compromise the scientific integrity of the article, and that correction alone would be insufficient to address the concerns. Retraction was therefore deemed necessary to maintain the accuracy and trustworthiness of the scholarly record.
The authors were informed of the findings and the retraction decision. While the authors do not respond to this retraction, the journal has proceeded with the retraction in line with COPE guidance, which permits retraction without author consent when editorial integrity is at risk.
This retraction is issued to alert readers that the findings and conclusions of the article should not be relied upon. The original article will remain accessible for the sake of the scholarly record, but it will be clearly marked as retracted.
Apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
