CodeBERT is a pre-trained model for programming language, which is a multi-programming-lingual model pre-trained on NL-PL pairs in 6 programming languages (Python, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, Go). ### Dependency - pip install torch - pip install transformers ### Quick Tour We use huggingface/transformers framework to train the model. You can use our model like the pre-trained Roberta base. Now, We give an example on how to load the model. ```python import torch from transformers import RobertaTokenizer, RobertaConfig, RobertaModel device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu") tokenizer = RobertaTokenizer.from_pretrained("microsoft/codebert-base") model = RobertaModel.from_pretrained("microsoft/codebert-base") model.to(device) ``` ### NL-PL Embeddings Here, we give an example to obtain embedding from CodeBERT. ```python >>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel >>> import torch >>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("microsoft/codebert-base") >>> model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("microsoft/codebert-base") >>> nl_tokens=tokenizer.tokenize("return maximum value") ['return', 'Ġmaximum', 'Ġvalue'] >>> code_tokens=tokenizer.tokenize("def max(a,b): if a>b: return a else return b") ['def', 'Ġmax', '(', 'a', ',', 'b', '):', 'Ġif', 'Ġa', '>', 'b', ':', 'Ġreturn', 'Ġa', 'Ġelse', 'Ġreturn', 'Ġb'] >>> tokens=[tokenizer.cls_token]+nl_tokens+[tokenizer.sep_token]+code_tokens+[tokenizer.eos_token] ['', 'return', 'Ġmaximum', 'Ġvalue', '', 'def', 'Ġmax', '(', 'a', ',', 'b', '):', 'Ġif', 'Ġa', '>', 'b', ':', 'Ġreturn', 'Ġa', 'Ġelse', 'Ġreturn', 'Ġb', ''] >>> tokens_ids=tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_ids(tokens) [0, 30921, 4532, 923, 2, 9232, 19220, 1640, 102, 6, 428, 3256, 114, 10, 15698, 428, 35, 671, 10, 1493, 671, 741, 2] >>> context_embeddings=model(torch.tensor(tokens_ids)[None,:])[0] torch.Size([1, 23, 768]) tensor([[-0.1423, 0.3766, 0.0443, ..., -0.2513, -0.3099, 0.3183], [-0.5739, 0.1333, 0.2314, ..., -0.1240, -0.1219, 0.2033], [-0.1579, 0.1335, 0.0291, ..., 0.2340, -0.8801, 0.6216], ..., [-0.4042, 0.2284, 0.5241, ..., -0.2046, -0.2419, 0.7031], [-0.3894, 0.4603, 0.4797, ..., -0.3335, -0.6049, 0.4730], [-0.1433, 0.3785, 0.0450, ..., -0.2527, -0.3121, 0.3207]], grad_fn=) ``` ### Probing As stated in the paper, CodeBERT is not suitable for mask prediction task, while CodeBERT (MLM) is suitable for mask prediction task. We give an example on how to use CodeBERT(MLM) for mask prediction task. ```python from transformers import RobertaConfig, RobertaTokenizer, RobertaForMaskedLM, pipeline model = RobertaForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("microsoft/codebert-base-mlm") tokenizer = RobertaTokenizer.from_pretrained("microsoft/codebert-base-mlm") CODE = "if (x is not None) (x>1)" fill_mask = pipeline('fill-mask', model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer) outputs = fill_mask(CODE) print(outputs) ``` Results ```python 'and', 'or', 'if', 'then', 'AND' ``` The detailed outputs are as follows: ```python {'sequence': ' if (x is not None) and (x>1)', 'score': 0.6049249172210693, 'token': 8} {'sequence': ' if (x is not None) or (x>1)', 'score': 0.30680200457572937, 'token': 50} {'sequence': ' if (x is not None) if (x>1)', 'score': 0.02133703976869583, 'token': 114} {'sequence': ' if (x is not None) then (x>1)', 'score': 0.018607674166560173, 'token': 172} {'sequence': ' if (x is not None) A ```` --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/tools/microsoft-codebert`](/api/graphcanon/tools/microsoft-codebert) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
