Abstract

Neural program embeddings have demonstrated considerable promise in a range of program analysis tasks, including clone identification, program repair, code completion, and program synthesis. However, most existing methods generate neural program embeddings directly from the program source codes, by learning from features such as tokens, abstract syntax trees, and control flow graphs.
