Recent software advances have led to an expansion of the development and usage of
application programming interfaces (APIs). From millions of Android packages (APKs) …

Frameworks and libraries offer reusable and customizable functionality through Application
Programming Interfaces (APIs). Correctly using large and sophisticated APIs can represent a …

Code completion aims at speeding up code writing by predicting the next code token (s) the
developer is likely to write. Works in this field focused on improving the accuracy of the …

Developers often require knowledge beyond the one they possess, which often boils down
to consulting sources of information like Application Programming Interfaces (API) …

Different studies show that programmers are more interested in finding definitions of
functions and their uses than variables, statements, or arbitrary code fragments [30, 29, 31] …

Code completion is one of the main features of modern Integrated Development
Environments (IDEs). Its objective is to speed up code writing by predicting the next code …

Software developers interact with APIs on a daily basis and, therefore, often face the need to
learn how to use new APIs suitable for their purposes. Previous work has shown that …

Typically, software libraries provide API documentation, through which developers can learn
how to use libraries correctly. However, developers may still write code inconsistent with API …

In this paper, we propose a technique called LACT for automatically categorizing software
systems in open-source repositories. LACT is based on latent Dirichlet Allocation, an …

A fundamental problem of finding software applications that are highly relevant to
development tasks is the mismatch between the high-level intent reflected in the …
