Automated Summarization of Stack Overflow Posts

Understand

Software developers often resort to Stack Overflow (SO) to fill their programming needs.

• Given the abundance of relevant posts, navigating them and comparing different solutions is tedious and time-consuming.
• Recent work has proposed to automatically summarize SO posts to concise text to facilitate the navigation of SO posts.
• However, these techniques rely only on information retrieval methods or heuristics for text summarization, which is insufficient to handle the ambiguity and sophistication of natural language.
