background : 大量的软件开发过程中间产品 problem : 大量的噪音和数据具有异构性 key point : 把软件过程中产生的产品逆向来造各种各样的工具 + 机器来理解人的行为 -> 智能软件开发
research topics: - intelligent code assistant - code completion - clone detection - API recommenddation - stackoverflow + API doc - knowledge graphbased api misuse detection - automated answer - interactive query refinement for technical question retrieval - intelligent bug management and fixing - feature engineering for invalid bug determination - just in time defect identification and localization(data from github) - automatic document generation - code summarization - code comment updating - commit message generation - pull request generation - hunman-centric software engineering - predicting coding context - development intention and behavior
research methodology: empirical study -> (intelligent tools <-> empirical study)
