At @IEEEICSME, @danny_dig and @BellurAbhiram just presented our new paper "Next-Generation Refactoring: Combining LLM Insights and IDE Capabilities for Extract Method". 🎉 This work continues our long-time research into how to improve refactorings in the IDE using machine learning. Our approach uses LLMs to generate Extract Method suggestions. It then removes the ones that are invalid or not useful, and enhances the suggestions using static analysis and program slicing. On a diverse test-set of 1752 conducted EM refactorings, our plugin reached a recall@5 of 53.4%, significantly outperforming the existing state of the art. 💪 The tool is freely available for IntelliJ IDEA as a plugin. Congratulations to Dorin, @BellurAbhiram, @Malindadoo, @zkurbatova, @egor_bb, @timofeybryksin, and @danny_dig! 📜 Pre-print: danny.cs.colorado.edu/papers… 🛠️ Plugin: plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin…

📜 One more paper at @FSEconf that our folks are presenting today: "EM-Assist: Safe Automated ExtractMethod Refactoring with LLMs". Check out how to combine LLMs with powerful IDE-based static analysis to support refactorings! 🤖 Pre-print: arxiv.org/abs/2405.20551

If you are at @FSEconf, don't miss "Unprecedented Code Change Automation: The Fusion of LLMs and Transformation by Example" by @Malindadoo, Abhiram, @timofeybryksin, and @danny_dig that is soon to be presented! 🥰 📜 Pre-print: arxiv.org/abs/2402.07138

Just a reminder that the deadline for the IDE workshop, co-located with @ICSEconf 2024, is in two weeks (December, 7th). Anything related to IDEs, 4+1 pages short papers, 1 or 2+1 pages position papers. Let's build the coolest community together! All info: ide-workshop.github.io/

We are excited to announce the first edition of the IDE Workshop to be co-located with ICSE'24 in April in Portugal! Please share your research that relates to IDEs in any way and come meet other researchers and IDE developers from industry. More information in the next tweet!⬇️
