Paper Reading Are Deep Neural Networks the Best Choice for Modeling Source Code

High-level

Summary: Carefully adapting n-gram models can yield better performance in code recommendation tasks than deep learning models.

Evaluation: Quite careful & solid work. Good summary of interesting despite obvious observation. Made meaningful and executable link between two domains. Giga-token corpus.

Takeaways: github.com/SLP-Team/SLP-Core MRR is a one-number metric for evaluation prediction results. (Mean Reciprocal Ranking) Yielding better results when combined with DL. extrinsic eval means using end results. intrinsic means using statistical measurements, like entropy.
