Prem Devanbu and Zhendong Su.<br><br>Recent work at UC Davis has shown that large software corpora exhibit some of the<br>same kinds of statistical regularities observed in large natural language corpora.<br>We now seek to exploit these regularities, using methods adapted<br>from statistical natural language processing, to improve the performance<br>of software engineering tools for code completion, code retrieval, code<br>summarization, and static analysis, as well as to use statistical models<br>of code for search-based software engineering (SBSE) applications.<br><br>Our ideal candidate is someone with a PhD thesis in the area of statistical natural<br>language processing, and a keen interest in improving software development<br>environments. Qualified candidates are encouraged to contact Prem Devanbu<br>(<a href="mailto:devanbu@cs.ucdavis.edu">devanbu@cs.ucdavis.edu</a>). <br><br>This is a one-year position, which we expect will be extended to 2 or more years.<br>The position is at the UC campus in Davis, California. Davis is a pleasant<br>college town near Sacramento, with a mild climate, and easy access to the Sierras, the Pacific<br>coast, and San Francisco. <br><br><br>Prem Devanbu<br>Professor, Computer Science<br>UC Davis<br><div>
