Code comment generation is a crucial task in the field of automatic software development. Most previous neural comment generation systems used an encoder-decoder neural network and encoded only information from source code as input. Software reuse is common in software development. However, this feature has not been introduced to existing systems. Inspired by the traditional IR-based approaches, we propose to use the existing comments of similar source code as exemplars to guide the comment generation process. Based on an open source search engine, we first retrieve a similar code and treat its comment as an exemplar. Then we applied a seq2seq neural network to conduct an exemplar-based comment generation. We evaluate our approach on a large-scale Java corpus, and experimental results demonstrate that our model significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

This paper addresses the question: Why do neural dialog systems generate short and meaningless replies? We conjecture that, in a dialog system, an utterance may have multiple equally plausible replies, causing the deficiency of neural networks in the dialog application. We propose a systematic way to mimic the dialog scenario in a machine translation system, and manage to reproduce the phenomenon of generating short and less meaningful sentences in the translation setting, showing evidence of our conjecture.

In this paper, we investigate quantum manipulations in an open atom-molecule conversion system. Through the transformation for the basis of the system, a set of time-dependent equations are derived under mean field approximation. We find that transitions between different dynamic areas of the system can be realized through manipulating an external rotating magnetic field, which corresponds to the tunneling rate in the equation. Through investigating the phase space of the system, we design an efficient method to combine pure cold molecule and pure molecular state so that it can be reached with much shorter time. Furthermore, manipulation of laser signal modulation, external diving and the distance-selective diffusion are also discussed in this paper.
