We tackle the task of automatically generating a function name from source code.Existing generators face difficulties in generating low-frequency or out-of-vocabulary subwords.In this paper, we propose two strategies for copying low-frequency or out-of-vocabulary subwords in inputs.Our best performing model showed an improvement over the conventional method in terms of our modified F1 and accuracy on the Java-small and Java-large datasets.
