Title: A Language for Function Signature Representations,
Abstract: Recent work by (Richardson and Kuhn, 2017a,b; Richardson et al., 2018) looks
at semantic parser induction and question answering in the domain of source
code libraries and APIs. In this brief note, we formalize the representations
being learned in these studies and introduce a simple domain specific language
and a systematic translation from this language to first-order logic. By
recasting the target representations in terms of classical logic, we aim to
broaden the applicability of existing code datasets for investigating more
complex natural language understanding and reasoning problems in the software
domain.
