Abstract

A device may receive a feature submission identifying a candidate feature for a software application. The device may pre-process the feature submission to reformat data associated with the candidate feature to match a data format associated with stored information regarding past feature submissions. The device may perform natural language processing on the data associated with the candidate feature to determine a semantic meaning of the candidate feature. The device may compare the semantic meaning of the candidate feature with an index of past feature submissions. The device may provide a response indicating whether the candidate feature matches the past feature submissions wherein the response comprises an indication that the candidate feature does not match any past feature submission or information identifying one or more past feature submissions associated with a threshold semantic similarity to the candidate feature.
