AdaptivePaste: Code Adaptation through Learning Semantics-aware Variable Usage Representations

Xiaoyu Liu, Jinu Jang, Neel Sundaresan +2

In software development, it is common for programmers to copy-paste or port code snippets and then adapt them to their use case. This scenario motivates the code adaptation task --…

CoRGi: Content-Rich Graph Neural Networks with Attention

Jooyeon Kim, Angus Lamb, Simon Woodhead +3

Graph representations of a target domain often project it to a set of entities (nodes) and their relations (edges). However, such projections often miss important and rich informat…

Learning to Complete Code with Sketches

Daya Guo, Alexey Svyatkovskiy, Jian Yin +3

Code completion is usually cast as a language modelling problem, i.e., continuing an input in a left-to-right fashion. However, in practice, some parts of the completion (e.g., str…
