Software Engineering Meets Deep Learning: A Mapping Study

Deep learning (DL) is being used nowadays in many traditional software engineering (SE) problems and tasks, such as software documentation, defect prediction, and software testing. However, since the renaissance of DL techniques is still very recent, we lack works that summarize and condense the most recent and relevant research conducted in the intersection of DL and SE. Therefore, in this paper we describe the first results of a literature review covering 81 papers about DL & SE.
