CodeSum: Translate Program Language to Natural Language

Understand

During software maintenance, programmers spend a lot of time on code comprehension.

• Reading comments is an effective way for programmers to reduce the reading and navigating time when comprehending source code.
• Therefore, as a critical task in software engineering, code summarization aims to generate brief natural language descriptions for source code.
• In this paper, we propose a new code summarization model named CodeSum.
