+** Problem:**
+\\ Absence of comments/descriptions for methods.
+**Importance/Applications of the technique:**
+\\ Automatic mining of source code descriptions from bug tracking systems and mailing lists.
+\\ Source code re-documentation.
+**Approach:**
+\\ 1. Downloading emails and tracing them onto classes- using 2 heuristics- if email contains fully qualified class name or file name. For bug ids-matching bug id to closing comments.
+\\ 2. Extracting paragraphs based on programming language keyword/operator density.
+\\ 3. Tracing paragraphs onto method based on occurrence of keyword "method" and a method name followed by parenthesis.
+\\ 4. Filtering paragraphs further by - return types, over-ridding/overloading and method invocations(invoking a method inside another method).
+\\ 5. Computing textual similarities between paragraphs and methods and ranking them based on similarity measure.
