DeepSCC: Source Code Classification Based on Fine-Tuned RoBERTa
share
In software engineering-related tasks (such as programming language tag prediction based on code snippets from Stack Overflow), the programming language classification for code snippets is a common task. In this study, we propose a novel method DeepSCC, which uses a fine-tuned RoBERTa model to classify the programming language type of the source code. In our empirical study, we choose a corpus collected from Stack Overflow, which contains 224,445 pairs of code snippets and corresponding language types. After comparing nine state-of-the-art baselines from the fields of source code classification and neural text classification in terms of four performance measures (i.e., Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1), we show the competitiveness of our proposed method DeepSCC
