Abstract:

The discovery and reuse of scientific codes are essential in research, with computational notebooks proving effective for sharing such codes. However, locating relevant computational notebooks poses challenges due to their multi-modal nature and lack of evaluation datasets for fair assessments. Previous studies have focused on code-snippet search or content-based approaches, ignoring broader information needs. To tackle these challenges, DeCNR is introduced, employing a fused sparse-dense retrieval model and an evaluation dataset for fair performance evaluation. Experimental results show that DeCNR outperforms baseline methods in terms of F1@5 and NDCG@5, with the system implemented as a web service with REST APIs for seamless integration.
