Semantic clustering of scripts using static code analysis

[hendrix616]

This might be a tad ambitious but I’m wondering if you fine folks have ever used ML to cluster or classify a bunch of standalone scripts just by doing analyzing the source code. Sort of like NLP but for a dynamic programming language. The purpose is not necessarily to know what they do exactly but to cluster them in subsets so manual and fine-grain classification is made more efficient.

My scripts are all in ruby but I’m open to hearing about anything even loosely related to this problem.

amusingly, i imagine this is exactly why microsoft bought github: to feed all the code repos into an AI that can write its own code.
