Bidirectional Small-Granularity Search between Code and Text

Researchers introduce a bidirectional search task linking code snippets with text descriptions and vice versa, addressing the gap between scientific publications and their implementations. They present a large dataset with automatically-generated training data and manually-annotated test sets, along with a modular encoder-based approach that achieves strong in-domain results with promising out-of-domain generalization.
