ReACC: A Retrieval-Augmented Code Completion Framework

Understand

Code completion, which aims to predict the following code token(s) according to the code context, can improve the productivity of software development.

• Recent work has proved that statistical language modeling with transformers can greatly improve the performance in the code completion task via learning from large-scale source code datasets.
• However, current approaches focus only on code context within the file or project, i.e.
• internal context.
