Source Code Summarization is the task of writing short, natural language descriptions of source code. The main use for these descriptions is in software documentation e.g. the one-sentence Java method descriptions in JavaDocs. Code summarization is rapidly becoming a popular research problem, but progress is restrained due to a lack of suitable dat...

Context 1
... as depicted in Figure 1, words appear to be used more often in code as compared to natural language -there are fewer words used only one or two times, and in general more used 3+ times. At the same time (Figure 2), the pattern for word occurrences per document appears similar, implying that even though words in code are repeated, they are repeated often in the same method and not across methods. Even though this may suggest that the occurrence of unique words in source code is isolated enough to have little affect on BLEU score, we show in Section 4 that this word overlap causes BLEU score inflation when you split by function. ...
