Abstract
A retrieval-augmented code completion system uses the context of a partially-formed source code snippet of a source code program and a hint to predict the source code tokens needed to complete the partially-formed source code snippet. The hint is a source code segment that completes a semantically-similar source code segment of the partially-formed source code snippet. The hint is found in a retrieval source code database using a hybrid retrieval technique. A deep learning decoder model uses the context of the partially-formed source code snippet and the hint to predict the most likely candidate sequence of source code tokens to complete the partially-formed source code snippet.
