NLP · CODE SUMMARIZATION

Four ways to summarize Java source code

Upload a .java file and watch corpus-fitted extractive baselines, a semantic embedding model, and a fine-tuned transformer each generate a java code summary, compared live side by side.

01 — Architecture

How a file becomes four summaries

Extractive models summarize the whole file from split statements. CodeT5 runs once per Java method, the same setup used in the CodeXGLUE evaluation.

Summary

Four summaries

Preprocessing

  • Split on ; { } and newlines
  • Merge tiny fragments (< 3 tokens)
  • CamelCase / snake_case identifier splitting
  • Java keyword + English stopword filtering

Corpus fitting

  • TF-IDF & LexRank IDF from CodeXGLUE Java train + validation
  • Weights cached to cache/idf_weights_train_val.pkl
  • Neural models use frozen pretrained checkpoints
  • One-time load, then served from memory

Output

  • Extractive models return top-N statements from the whole file
  • CodeT5 generates one English sentence per method (evaluation setup)
  • Per-model latency tracked for each run
  • Results compared in a single view
02 — Models

The four summarizers

Each model represents a different tier of prior knowledge. Click a card to expand its step-by-step algorithm, strengths, and limitations.

{% for m in models %}
{{ m.approach }} {{ m.tier }} {{ m.speed }}

{{ m.tagline }}

{{ m.description }}

How it works

    {% for step in m.steps %}
  1. {{ loop.index }}{{ step }}
  2. {% endfor %}

Strengths

    {% for s in m.strengths %}
  • {{ s }}
  • {% endfor %}

Limitations

    {% for l in m.limitations %}
  • {{ l }}
  • {% endfor %}
Input
{{ m.input }}
{% endfor %}

Summarize your Java file

Upload a .java file. Extractive models use the whole file; CodeT5 summarizes each method separately.
