Code Librarian: A Software Package Recommendation System

Lili Tao, Alexandru-Petre Cazan, Senad Ibraimoski et al.

The use of packaged libraries can significantly shorten the software development cycle by improving the quality and readability of code. In this paper, we present a recommendation engine called Librarian for open source libraries. A candidate library package is recommended for a given context if: 1) it has been frequently used with the imported libraries in the program; 2) it has similar functionality to the imported libraries in the program; 3) it has similar functionality to the developer's implementation, and 4) it can be used efficiently in the context of the provided code. We apply the state-of-the-art CodeBERT-based model for analysing the context of the source code to deliver relevant library recommendations to users.
