ABSTRACT

This research group presentation focuses on our work in extracting and utilizing natural language clues from source code to improve software maintenance tools. We demonstrate the valuable information that can be gained from a software system's identifiers, literals, and comments. We then present an overview of our extraction process, program representation, and a set of tools we have developedusing this natural language program analysis.
