Abstract
Establishing API mappings between libraries is a prerequisite stepfor library migration tasks. Manually establishing API mappings istedious due to the large number of APIs to be examined, and existingmethods based on supervised learning requires unavailable alreadyported or functionality similar applications. Therefore, we proposean unsupervised deep learning based approach to embed both APIusage semantics and API description (name and document) semantics into vector space for inferring likely analogical API mappingsbetween libraries. We implement a proof-of-concept website SimilarAPI (https://similarapi.appspot.com) which can recommend analogical APIs for 583,501 APIs of 111 pairs of analogical Java librarieswith diverse functionalities.
