M3NSCT5

The code base for our paper （submitted to Journal of Systems and Software） "Diverse Title Generation for Stack Overflow Posts with Multiple Sampling Enhanced Transformer"

M3NSCT5 is a hybrid method combining the Maximal Marginal Multiple Nucleus Sampling strategy and the CodeT5 model, which is proposed to tackle the ambiguity issue when generating Stack Overflow post titles from code snippets.

Environment

Before you run the code, make sure you have prepared the necessary environment:

conda create -n m3nsct5 python=3.7
conda activate m3nsct5
pip install -r requirements.txt
