In order to understand the questions that software engineers would like to ask data scientists about software, the software process, and about software engineering practices, we conducted two surveys: the first survey solicited questions and the second survey ranked a set of questions. Our analysis resulted in a catalog of 145 questions grouped into 12 categories as well as a ranking of the importance of each question. This technical report contains the survey text as well as the complete list of 145 questions with rankings.

The data is in the following files:
