Abstract

Techniques for identifying similar software code are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises: based on detection of an input, determining, by a device operatively coupled to a processor, a user interface functionality associated with a website; and based on a likelihood that the user interface functionality and a result of a query have a defined level of correlation, matching, by the device, the result of the query to the user interface functionality. The computer-implemented method can further comprise mapping, by the device, a vector associated with the website, to an integer value, employing a hash function.

Claims

1. A computer program product that facilitates a software code word search, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

based on detection of an input to a system, determine, by the processor, a user interface functionality associated with a website; and

based on a likelihood that the user interface functionality and a result of a query have a defined level of correlation, match, by the processor, the result of the query to the user interface functionality.

2. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein the defined level of correlation is based on a semantic correlation between the input and the result of the query, and wherein the processor is further configured to match the result of the query to the user interface functionality based on one or more software code words that can execute the user interface functionality.

3. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein the program instructions are further executable by the processor to cause the processor to:

map, by the processor, a vector associated with the website, to an integer value, employing a hash function.

4. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein the website is a first website associated with a mobile device, and wherein the processor, based on the result of the query, generates the user interface functionality for a second website associated with the mobile device.

5. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein the defined level of correlation is generated based on comparing the user interface functionality to a defined threshold value associated with a hash function.

6. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein the user interface functionality is associated with an icon of the website.

7. The computer program product of claim 6, wherein the icon is associated with a search application.

8. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein the user interface functionality is associated with a table.

9. The computer program product of claim 8, wherein the table is associated with a calendar application.

10. A system, comprising:

a memory that stores computer executable components; and

a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components comprise;

an extraction component that;

based on detection of an input to the system, extracts a user interface functionality from a first user interface associated with a mobile application; and

a matching component that;

based on a likelihood that the user interface functionality and a result of a query have a defined level of correlation, matches the result of the query to the user interface functionality.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the defined level of correlation is based on a semantic correlation between the input and the result of the query, and wherein matching is further based on one or more software code words that can execute the user interface functionality.

12. The system of claim 10, wherein the computer executable components further comprise:

a mapping component that maps a vector associated with the mobile application, to an integer value, employing a hash function.

13. The system of claim 10, wherein the matching component, based on the result of the query, generates the user interface functionality for a second mobile application.

14. The system of claim 10, wherein the defined level of correlation is generated based on comparing the user interface functionality to a defined threshold value associated with a hash function.

15. The system of claim 10, wherein the user interface functionality is associated with an icon of the mobile application.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the icon is associated with a search application.
