Hi all,

Next Wednesday 9/12, we will discuss a recent work, code2vec, on generating embeddings for code.

The purpose of an embedding is to map symbolic entities into vector space while still preserving the relations between them in terms of distance. It can be viewed as a feature extraction process and is oftenÂthe first layer for a deep learning model which works with symbolic inputs. The authors introduce the idea of viewing source code as bags of abstract syntax tree paths, and use them to better generate method or token embeddings, and also predict method names.ÂIn another closely related work [2] by the same authors, they use the same representation to predict variable types and other ML tasks over source code in Java, Python and _javascript_.
