The paper is concerned that recognition of design patterns in the source code of the information system is an urgent task in the field of automatic analysis and software development. The authors use the machine learning methods to detect automatically design patterns. The proposed method allows you to prepare, simulate and recognize design patterns, consisting of an arbitrary number of classes. In the present paper, the authors described the experiments on the recognition of five design patterns (singleton, adapter, linker, decorator, factory method), and carried out a comparison of recognition results obtained using various machine learning models. At the same time, K nearest-neighbor algorithms, linear models, models of decision trees with gradient amplification were used.
