HyperSeq

Abstract

In the rapidly evolving world of software development, the surge in developers’ reliance on AI-driven tools has transformed Integrated Development Environments into powerhouses of advanced features. This transformation, while boosting developers’ productivity to unprecedented levels, comes with a catch: increased hardware demands for software development. Moreover, the significant economic and environmental toll of using these sophisticated models necessitates mechanisms that reduce unnecessary computational burdens. We propose HyperSeq - Hyper-Adaptive Representation for Predictive Sequencing of States - a novel, resource-efficient approach designed to model developers’ cognitive states. HyperSeq facilitates precise action sequencing and enables real-time learning of user behavior. Our preliminary results show how HyperSeq excels in forecasting action sequences and achieves remarkable prediction accuracies that go beyond 70%. Notably, the model’s online-learning capability allows it to substantially enhance its predictive accuracy in a majority of cases and increases its capability in forecasting next user actions with sufficient iterations for adaptation. Ultimately, our objective is to harness these predictions to refine and elevate the user experience dynamically within the IDE.
