+# 🧩 Cross-Project Defect Prediction (CPDP) Dataset — C & Java Projects
 
-## Contents
-- Uploaded from: `/Users/jewelrana/Development/Personal/Resources/Dataset.zip`
+This repository hosts a **custom dataset** for **Cross-Project Defect Prediction (CPDP)** research, curated from a diverse collection of real-world open-source projects written in **C (441 projects)** and **Java (98 projects)**.  
+The dataset aims to support research on **software defect prediction, transfer learning**, and **imbalanced data handling** across heterogeneous programming environments.

+## 📘 Overview
+
+| Language | #Projects | Description |
+|-----------|------------|-------------|
+| **C** | 441 | Includes diverse open-source repositories from various domains (system utilities, networking, compilers, embedded tools, etc.) |
+| **Java** | 98 | Covers projects from academic, industrial, and utility domains collected from GitHub and other public repositories |
+
+Each project folder typically includes:
+- Source code files (`.c`, `.h`, `.java`)
+- Bug/defect labels (where available)
+- Metadata (e.g., LOC, complexity, commits)
+- Preprocessed CSV feature files for ML models
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Purpose
+
+The dataset is designed for:
+- **Cross-Project Defect Prediction (CPDP)**
+- **Transfer Learning** and **Domain Adaptation** studies
+- **Feature engineering** on static code metrics
+- **Benchmarking** new software defect prediction models
+
+---
+
+## 🧠 Suggested Research Directions
+
+- Comparison of **within-project vs cross-project** prediction accuracy  
+- Study of **language heterogeneity** in CPDP (C ↔ Java transfer)  
+- Use of **oversampling** or **class balancing** methods (e.g., SMOTE, OTOMO)  
+- Integration with **Bayesian Networks**, **Deep Learning**, or **Tensor-based** models
