Conversational Agents in Software Engineering: Survey, Taxonomy and Challenges
@article{Motger2021ConversationalAI, title={Conversational Agents in Software Engineering: Survey, Taxonomy and Challenges}, author={Quim Motger and Xavier Franch and Jordi Marco}, journal={ArXiv}, year={2021}, volume={abs/2106.10901} }
The use of natural language interfaces in the field of human-computer interaction is undergoing intense study through dedicated scientific and industrial research. The latest contributions in the field, including deep learning approaches like recurrent neural networks, the potential of context-aware strategies and user-centred design approaches, have brought back the attention of the community to software-based dialogue systems, generally known as conversational agents or chatbots. Nonetheless…
