Conferences

Software Enginnering/Programming Languages

The emphasis is on combining program analysis and deep learning to solve novel software engineering/programming languages task. In most cases, strong empirical results are required. Typically, new datasets are usually curated.

• Joint European Software Engineering Conference and Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering (ESEC/FSE)
• Automated Software Engineering (ASE).
• Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI)

Machine Learning/AI

The emphasis is on desigining novel neural network architectures to process code. Typically, new datasets are usually curated.

• Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI)
• Interational Conference in Machine Learning (ICML)
• International Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems(NeurIPS)

Natural Language Processing

The emphasis is on applying NLP techniques for code, and the evaluation is primarily on running the models on known benchmark datasets; unique tasks are rarely introduced.
