CodeTrans model for source code summarization python

Pretrained model on programming language python using the t5 base model architecture. It was first released in this repository. This model is trained on tokenized python code functions: it works best with tokenized python functions.

Model description

This CodeTrans model is based on the t5-base model. It has its own SentencePiece vocabulary model. It used multi-task training on 13 supervised tasks in the software development domain and 7 unsupervised datasets.

Intended uses & limitations

The model could be used to generate the description for the python function or be fine-tuned on other python code tasks. It can be used on unparsed and untokenized python code. However, if the python code is tokenized, the performance should be better.

How to use

Here is how to use this model to generate python function documentation using Transformers SummarizationPipeline:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelWithLMHead, SummarizationPipeline

pipeline = SummarizationPipeline(
    model=AutoModelWithLMHead.from_pretrained("SEBIS/code_trans_t5_base_source_code_summarization_python_multitask"),
    tokenizer=AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("SEBIS/code_trans_t5_base_source_code_summarization_python_multitask", skip_special_tokens=True),
    device=0
)

tokenized_code = '''with open ( CODE_STRING , CODE_STRING ) as in_file : buf = in_file . readlines ( )  with open ( CODE_STRING , CODE_STRING ) as out_file : for line in buf :          if line ==   " ; Include this text   " :              line = line +   " Include below  "          out_file . write ( line ) '''
pipeline([tokenized_code])

Run this example in colab notebook.

Training procedure

Multi-task Pretraining

The model was trained on a single TPU Pod V3-8 for 260,000 steps in total, using sequence length 512 (batch size 4096). It has a total of approximately 220M parameters and was trained using the encoder-decoder architecture. The optimizer used is AdaFactor with inverse square root learning rate schedule for pre-training.

Evaluation results

For the source code summarization tasks, different models achieves the following results on different programming languages (in BLEU score):
