Qiao Ke has made significant contributions to the field, with publications in respected journals and conferences. Notable works include research on modular neural frameworks for software model connections, deep hierarchical search-based code generation, and adaptive disentangled representation learning.

A research paper titled “RRGcode: Deep hierarchical search-based code generation.” The paper addresses the challenges of retrieval-augmented code generation, where a retrieval model is used to select relevant code snippets from a code corpus to strengthen the generation model. The primary concern is that if the retrieval corpus contains errors or sub-optimal examples, the generation model might replicate these mistakes in the generated code.

To overcome these challenges, the authors propose RRGcode, a deep hierarchical search-based code generation framework. The key components of RRGcode are outlined as follows:

  1. Retrieval: The framework first retrieves relevant code candidates from a large code corpus. This initial retrieval step aims to gather a set of potential code snippets based on the given query.
  2. Re-ranking: A re-ranking model is introduced to fine-tune the initial retrieved code rankings. This involves a detailed semantic comparison between the code candidates and the query, ensuring that only the most relevant and accurate candidates are considered. The re-ranking process aims to mitigate the risk of replicating errors from the retrieval corpus.
  3. Generation: The re-ranked top-K codes, along with the query, serve as input for the code generation model. This final step focuses on generating high-quality and reliable code based on the refined set of code candidates.

The authors claim that RRGcode demonstrates state-of-the-art performance in code generation tasks through extensive experiments. The deep hierarchical search-based approach aims to improve the quality of generated code by addressing the limitations associated with erroneous or sub-optimal code examples present in the retrieval corpus.
