More Information
Summary:A code completion tool uses machine learning models to more precisely predict the likelihood of the parameters of a method invocation. A score is computed for each candidate variable that is used to rank the viability of a variable as the intended parameter. The score is a weighted sum of a scope factor, an edit distance factor and a declaration proximity factor. The factors are based on a scope model, a method overload model, and a weight file trained offline on a training set of source code programs utilizing various method invocations.
