Abstract

In this survey paper, we overview major deep learning methods used in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and source code over the last 35 years. Next, we present a survey of the applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for source code, also known as Code Intelligence (CI) and Programming Language Processing (PLP). We survey over 287 publications and present a software-engineering centered taxonomy for CI placing each of the works into one category describing how it best assists the software development cycle. Then, we overview the field of conversational assistants and their applications in software engineering and education. Lastly, we highlight research opportunities at the intersection of AI for code and conversational assistants and provide future directions for researching conversational assistants with CI capabilities.
