StackInTheFlow: Behavior-Driven Recommendation System for Stack Overflow Posts

Developer behavior in the IDE, including commands and events and complementing the active source code, provides useful context to in-IDE recommendation systems. This paper presents Stack-In The Flow, a tool that generates interpretable queries to Stack Overflow, and recommends Stack Overflow posts when a developer is observed to be facing difficulty, defined by encountering error messages or not appearing to make progress. StackInTheFlow monitors clicks on its retrieved results, and, over time, personalizes the retrieved posts to a specific set of Stack Overflow tags. Video: http://bit.ly/sitfdemo.
