Autonomous detection of compound issue requests in an issue tracking system

Abstract:

An issue tracking system configured to determine whether an issue request submitted by a user of the issue tracking system can, or should, be subdivided into two or more issue requests. In some implementations, the issue tracking system is configured to extract a content item of the issue request (e.g., title, description, and the like) in order to perform a semantic and/or syntactic analysis of that content item. Upon determining that the content item includes two or more clauses linked by a coordinating, subordinating, or correlative conjunction, the system can provide a recommendation to the user to submit discrete two or more issue requests, each one of which corresponds to a single linked clause of the content item.
