Re: [recommenders-dev] Question regarding code searching: GSOC application

Hi Marcel,
Thanks for your suggestion. This surely helps me a lot.

Hi,

just a quick addition: We already have two submissions for code search this year - mostly dealing with structural issues and code summarization techniques. They have a clear scope and we know what to expect. In the case of recommending similar methods or code blocks I have the feeling that a GSCO would be very open-ended and looks more like a research (Bsc/Msc) thesis to me than a GSOC.

What I can imagine to work well as GSOC would be a "definition recommender", or improving on Subwords Completion Engine (I don't have the bug number at hand, but it's in Bugzilla and reported by Wim Jongman). A definition recommender or frequent call chains recommenders could be implemented on top of the current code search index - or just based on your own AST indexer that creates recommendations models from your local workspace.

Anyways, you have to hurry up to bring your proposal in :-) (and I'm travelling today and tomorrow with almost no internet)

Best,
Marcel
