Title of your topic
Translating Source Code into Natural Language
Topic description
Software engineering collaboration is hard. Software engineers spend > 70% of their time learning about their own team’s source code. Enormous size, constant change and intricate dependencies of the source code - are the main reason causing that problem.
To help software engineers at Quod AI we translate source code into natural language to make it easier to search, navigate and understand. In order to do that we use neural network models, natural language processing algorithms and statistical models.
In this talk we will share some of the insights that we gained from analyzing more than 300 millions lines of code.

Presenter's bio
I am an applied mathematician, who is building an AI platform that explains source code in plain English.
Duration
I guess 20 minutes presentation, then 10 minutes Q+A
Hi @linusnorton, @pkamath2, @yishus, @mikhfilippov! Thanks for proposing your talks. :)
Does the following timing work for you? Sorry if its a little shorter than expected, we have to run a tight ship with the timing with 4 talks.
- Node.js architecture - guiding principles by Linus (25 mins + 5mins Q&A)
- Generative Art using Genetic Algorithms and Neural networks by Purnima (20 mins)
- An exploration of CJSS - A CSS based web framework by Yishu (15 mins)
- Translating Source Code into Natural Language by Misha (20mins + 5mins Q&A)
Thanks!
That works for me, I can certainly condense my talk to 20 minutes if someone would like an extra 5.
Sounds fine for me. Thank you @ongmin
okay!
Hey @ongmin, Unfortunately I may need to travel out of Singapore during that week and will not be able to speak this time =(( Apologies for the short notice.
Any chance I can move this talk to another month?
@linusnorton, oh yes! I have just updated it. Also at http://meetu.ps/e/H46BJ/10jMR/a
Hi @yishus @mikhfilippov, if you would like to add your decks to this issue, please feel free to! I'll keep this thread open longer. :)
