LLMs for code: The potential, prospects, and problems

The slides are from a tutorial that I delivered at ICSA on June 5, 2024 in Hyderabad, India.

 

Smelling Source Code Using Deep Learning

This talk was delivered at FOSDEM (Brussels) on Feb 3, 2019. This talk presents our work on detecting smells using deep learning models. It covers the tooling aspects summarizing the preparation that goes behind the scene before the source code is fed into a deep learning model. The focus of the work is on two specific aspects:

  1. to show that we can detect code smells with minimal preprocessing without converting them to a feature set.

  2. to explore the feasibility of applying deep learning models across the programming languages.

We compare the performance of smell detection among different deep learning models (CNN and RNN) in different configurations.

Does Your Architecture Smell?

It was presented in the Technical Agility Conference, Bangalore on Aug 10, 2018.

 

Does Your Configuration Code Smell?

This session was presented in FOSDEM 2017, Brussels. This talk introduces configuration smells, their types with various examples, and tools to detect them.
