# CodeTrans model for api recommendation generation
Pretrained model for api recommendation generation using the t5 large model architecture. It was first released in
[this repository](https://github.com/agemagician/CodeTrans). 


## Model description

This CodeTrans model is based on the `t5-large` model. It has its own SentencePiece vocabulary model. It used transfer-learning pre-training on 7 unsupervised datasets in the software development domain. It is then fine-tuned on the api recommendation generation task for the java apis.

## Intended uses & limitations

The model could be used to generate api usage for the java programming tasks. 

### How to use

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

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelWithLMHead, SummarizationPipeline

pipeline = SummarizationPipeline(
    model=AutoModelWithLMHead.from_pretrained("SEBIS/code_trans_t5_large_api_generation_transfer_learning_finetune"),
    tokenizer=AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("SEBIS/code_trans_t5_large_api_generation_transfer_learning_finetune", skip_special_tokens=True),
    device=0
)

tokenized_code = "parse the uses licence node of this package , if any , and returns the license definition if theres"
pipeline([tokenized_code])
```
Run this example in [colab notebook](https://github.com/agemagician/CodeTrans/blob/main/prediction/transfer%20learning%20fine-tuning/api%20generation/large_model.ipynb).
## Training data

The supervised training tasks datasets can be downloaded on [Link](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/488bq2of10r4wvw/AACs5CGIQuwtsD7j_Ls_JAORa/finetuning_dataset?dl=0&subfolder_nav_tracking=1)


## Training procedure

### Transfer-learning Pretraining

The model was trained on a single TPU Pod V3-8 for 240,000 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.

### Fine-tuning

This model was then fine-tuned on a single TPU Pod V3-8 for 180,000 steps in total, using sequence length 512 (batch size 256), using only the dataset only containing api recommendation generation data.


## Evaluation results

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