Description

ML has revolutionized many fields from cancer detection to self-driving cars, and let’s not forget about connected toilets that allow Alexa to flush at your command. Researchers have been working on applying ML to source code to predict bugs, find patterns in code, and much more; source{d} is building products to apply this research to improve day-to-day developer tasks.

Francesc Campoy explores the most useful techniques and relevant research, focusing on use cases where ML can help developers be more efficient.

Prerequisite knowledge

  • A basic understanding of programming

What you'll learn

  • Understand how ML can be used to help developers create better code in more efficient ways
  • Learn which algorithms and research can help predict bugs, ensure quality and consistency in code bases, and increase collaboration across silos in an organization
