Abstract

The vast amount of code available on the web is increasing on a daily basis. Open-source hosting sites such as GitHub contain billions of lines of code. Community question-answering sites provide millions of code snippets with corresponding text and metadata. The amount of code available in executable binaries is even greater. In this talk, I will cover recent research trends on leveraging such “big code” for program analysis, program synthesis and reverse engineering. We will consider a range of semantic representations based on symbolic automata [11, 15], tracelets [3], numerical abstractions [13, 14], and textual descriptions [1, 22], as well as different notions of code similarity based on these representations.
