CoaCor: Code Annotation for Code Retrieval with Reinforcement Learning

1 code implementation • 13 Mar 2019 • Ziyu Yao, Jayavardhan Reddy Peddamail, Huan Sun

In this work, we investigate a novel perspective of Code annotation for Code retrieval (hence called `CoaCor'), where a code annotation model is trained to generate a natural language annotation that can represent the semantic meaning of a given code snippet and can be leveraged by a code retrieval model to better distinguish relevant code snippets from others.
