SOURCE CODE GENERATION, COMPLETION, CHECKING, CORRECTION

Automated generation, or completion, or checking of source code is described whereby a probabilistic model having been trained using a corpus of natural source code examples is used. In various examples the probabilistic model comprises probability distributions describing belief about structure of natural source code and takes into account source code analysis from a compiler or other source code analyzer. In various examples, source code analysis may comprise syntactic structure, type information and other data about source code. In various examples, the trained probabilistic model is used to predict sequences of source code elements. For example, to generate source code, to auto-complete source code, to error check source code, to error correct source code or for other purposes.
