Deep Learning Meets Software Engineering: A Survey on Pre-Trained Models of Source Code

Changan Niu, Chuanyi Li, Bin Luo, Vincent Ng

Recent years have seen the successful application of deep learning to software engineering (SE). In particular, the development and use of pre-trained models of source code has enabled state-of-the-art results to be achieved on a wide variety of SE tasks. This paper provides an overview of this rapidly advancing field of research and reflects on future research directions.
