Deep API Learning

You may hate the tech industry for recklessly destroying other people's jobs, but just know that we're working hard to build a next generation AI that will destroy our jobs too.

I just tried this, and it is surprisingly not bad functioning as a sort of oracle &#x2F; suggester. I keep a notes.txt file with thoughts questions, ideas, etc. in most projects, and I would like this hooked up to it in vim, with a given line opening up the results window on the right as I moved to it.<p>I tried &quot;draw a 3d cube&quot;, apparently it doesn&#x27;t have any 3d java libraries baked in, but it did give me a bunch of 2d APIs, and then &quot;plot a math function&quot;, giving me some trig functions directly and some plotting functions.<p>That would probably have saved me 80% of my time looking stuff up, especially in such a large search space

Here&#x27;s a direct link to demo[1]. Looks like it received a hug of death.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bda-codehow.cloudapp.net:88&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bda-codehow.cloudapp.net:88&#x2F;</a>

&gt; The results show that our approach generates <i>largely</i> accurate API sequences<p>OK then, humans still needed. Best case, it seems AI will take up what one would consider interesting work (algorithms, thinking) and humans will end up doing grunt work -- testing out bugs, cleaning up data, formatting data, explaining to other humans etc.<p>Realistically though, this just creates two API&#x27;s (instead of one) for humans to master, the original API and the 99% accurate machine API and knowing where the gap&#x2F;bugs are.

This is a pretty cool research area, but isn&#x27;t this implementation basically just a Javadoc search engine? A basic keyword search of the javadoc descriptions would return similar results in most cases, wouldn&#x27;t it?

Does any of the advanced machine learning and information retrieval gets implemented in tools useful for searching API&#x27;s and source code ? or is Google keeping all the cool tech to itself ?

.oO( we&#x27;re good at writing code, but bad when it comes to reasoning about code, so why not write code to solve that problem... )
