CodeT5 for code summarization (base-sized model)

CodeT5-base model fine-tuned on CodeSearchNet data from Husain et al., 2019 in a multi-lingual training setting ( Ruby/JavaScript/Go/Python/Java/PHP) for code summarization. It was introduced in this EMNLP 2021 paper CodeT5: Identifier-aware Unified Pre-trained Encoder-Decoder Models for Code Understanding and Generation by Yue Wang, Weishi Wang, Shafiq Joty, Steven C.H. Hoi. Please check out more at this repository.

How to use

Here is how to use this model:

from transformers import RobertaTokenizer, T5ForConditionalGeneration

if __name__ == '__main__':
    tokenizer = RobertaTokenizer.from_pretrained('Salesforce/codet5-base')
    model = T5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained('Salesforce/codet5-base-multi-sum')

    text = """def svg_to_image(string, size=None):
    if isinstance(string, unicode):
        string = string.encode('utf-8')
        renderer = QtSvg.QSvgRenderer(QtCore.QByteArray(string))
    if not renderer.isValid():
        raise ValueError('Invalid SVG data.')
    if size is None:
        size = renderer.defaultSize()
        image = QtGui.QImage(size, QtGui.QImage.Format_ARGB32)
        painter = QtGui.QPainter(image)
        renderer.render(painter)
    return image"""

    input_ids = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt").input_ids

    generated_ids = model.generate(input_ids, max_length=20)
    print(tokenizer.decode(generated_ids[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
    # this prints: "Convert a SVG string to a QImage."

Fine-tuning data

We employ the filtered version of CodeSearchNet data from CodeXGLUE benchmark for fine-tuning on code summarization. The data is tokenized with our pre-trained code-specific BPE (Byte-Pair Encoding) tokenizer. One can prepare text (or code) for the model using RobertaTokenizer, with the vocab files from codet5-base.

Programming Language	Training	Dev	Test
Python	251,820	13,914	14,918

Training procedure

We fine-tune codet5-base on six PLs (Ruby/JavaScript/Go/Python/Java/PHP) in the multi-task learning setting. We employ balanced sampling to avoid biasing towards high-resource tasks. Please refer to the paper for more details.

Evaluation results

Unlike the paper allowing to select different best checkpoints for different tasks, here we employ one checkpoint for all PLs. Besides, we remove the prefix to specify the PL in training and inference. The results on the test set are shown as below:
