Statistical learning of API mappings for language migration
Anh Tuan Nguyen, Hoan Anh Nguyen, Tung Thanh Nguyen, Tien N. Nguyen · 2014
The process of migrating software between languages is called language migration or code migration. To reduce manual effort in defining the rules of API mappings for code migration, we propose StaMiner, a data-driven model that statistically learns the mappings between API usages from the corpus of the corresponding methods in the client code of the APIs in two languages.
