In this paper, we focus on the problem of item matching using only the description. Those specific items not only lack a unique code but also contain short text descriptions, making the item matching process difficult. Our goal is to…

Semantic code search has been widely adopted in both academia and industry. These approaches embed natural-language queries and code snippets into a shared embedding space and retrieve results based on vector similarity. Despit strong…
