Abstract
In an embodiment, a method of estimating the cost of a software project comprising receiving natural language software descriptions and electronic source code files for respective completed software projects; storing, in a computer memory, an input set of functional labels and size data extracted from each of the source code files, the functional labels corresponding to labels in a software development library; training a natural language processing model to output a project set of functional labels for one of the source code files; training a regression analysis model to output a project size for the one of the source code files; predicting, using the natural language understanding model, a proposal set of functional labels; predicting, using the regression analysis model, a proposal size; and using the proposal size to calculate a proposal cost; and preparing a software development proposal that includes a natural language proposed-software description and the proposal cost.
