The Code2Text Challenge: Text Generation in Source Libraries
Kyle Richardson, Sina Zarrieß, Jonas Kuhn · 2017
We propose a new shared task for tactical datato-text generation in the domain of source code libraries.Specifically, we focus on text generation of function descriptions from example software projects.Data is drawn from existing resources used for studying the related problem of semantic parser induction (Richardson and Kuhn, 2017b; Richardson and Kuhn, 2017a), and spans a wide variety of both natural languages and programming languages.In this paper, we describe these existing resources, which will serve as training and development data for the task, and discuss plans for building new independent test sets.1. Java Documentation * Returns the greater of two long values * / ... public static long max(long a, long b) 2. Python Documentation # from decimal.Context max(self, a, b): """Compares two values numerically and returns the maximum""" 3. aNALoGuE Challenge (Novikova and Rieser, 2016) MR input: name[Bibmbap House] food[French] priceRange[cheap], area[riverside] near[Clare Hall] NL output: Near Clare Hall, in the riverside area, Bibimbap serves French food in the price range cheap.
