Many software engineering studies or tasks rely on categorizing artifacts. In practice, this is done either by defining simple but often imprecise heuristics, manual labelling of the Unfortunately, errors in these categorizations impact that them. To improve precision categorizations, we propose to gather heuristics a collaborative heuristic repository, which researchers can contribute large amount diverse for variety SE These are then leveraged state-of-the-art weak supervision techniques train high-quality classifiers, thus improving categorizations. We present an initial version applied concrete task commit classification.
