Abstract: Code readability is crucial for developers since it is closely related to code maintenance and affects developers’ work efficiency. Code readability classification refers to the source code being classified as pre-defined certain levels according to its readability. So far, many code readability classification models have been proposed in existing studies, including deep learning networks that have achieved relatively high accuracy and good performance.
