Learning from Code Repositories to Recommend Model Classes.

Abstract

With the growing popularity of machine learning algorithms, dramatic advances have been made for code completion, and specifically method-call completion. These advances were also possible thanks to the availability of large code repositories to learn from and to the well-defined boundaries of the method-call completion problem. This is, however, not the case for design completion, where model repositories are scarce and the space of possibilities for design completion is theoretically infinite.
