Turning READMEs into Chatbots

Advisor: Jay Pujara (Viterbi School of Engineering)
Students: Shuijing Mejia , Ronak Shah , Balaji Chidambaram , Aaron Cheng , Aamir Miyajiwala , Hieu Nguyen

Description

Ever get frustrated reading a README? Wish you could just ask someone for help instead of reading pages of documentation, combing through StackOverflow posts, and consulting lecture slides? This ambitious project will build a team of students to convert documentation in README files, ReadTheDocs and other manual pages, and StackOverflow posts into short conversations. These conversations will be used to train a dialogue model like DialoGPT to help create an assistive chat bot that can answer questions about code.
