Software engineers working with the same programming language (PL) may speak different natural languages (NLs) and vice versa, erecting huge barriers to communication and working efficiency. Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of generative pre-training in computer programs, yet they are always English-centric. In this work, we step towards bridging the gap between multilingual NLs and multilingual PLs for large language models (LLMs). We release ERNIE-Code, a unified pre-trained language model for 116 NLs and 6 PLs. We employ two methods for universal cross-lingual pre-training: span-corruption language modeling that learns patterns from monolingual NL or PL; and pivot-based translation language modeling that relies on parallel data of many NLs and PLs. Extensive results show that ERNIE-Code outperforms previous multilingual LLMs for PL or NL across a wide range of end tasks of code intelligence, including multilingual code-to-text, text-to-code, code-to-code, and text-to-text generation. We further show its advantage of zero-shot prompting on multilingual code summarization and text-to-text translation. We will make our code and pre-trained models publicly available.

在本文中，我们介绍了DOCMT5，这是一种预先培训的多语言序列到序列语言模型，具有大规模并行文档。虽然以前的方法专注于利用句子级并行数据，但我们尝试构建一个可以理解和生成长文件的通用预训练模型。我们提出了一个简单有效的预训练目标 - 文件重新排序机翻译（DRMT），其中需要翻译和屏蔽的输入文件。 DRMT在各种文档级生成任务中对强大基线带来一致的改进，包括超过12个BLEU积分，用于观看语言对文件级MT，超过7个BLEU积分，用于看不见的语言对文件级MT和3胭脂-1位为言语对交叉术概要。我们在WMT20 De-en和IWSLT15 Zh-ZH文档翻译任务中实现了最先进的（SOTA）。我们还对文档预培训的各种因素进行了广泛的分析，包括（1）预培训数据质量的影响和（2）组合单语言和交叉训练的影响。我们计划公开使用我们的模型检查站。

This paper demonstrates that multilingual denoising pre-training produces significant performance gains across a wide variety of machine translation (MT) tasks. We present mBART -a sequence-to-sequence denoising auto-encoder pre-trained on large-scale monolingual corpora in many languages using the BART objective . mBART is the first method for pre-training a complete sequence-to-sequence model by denoising full texts in multiple languages, while previous approaches have focused only on the encoder, decoder, or reconstructing parts of the text. Pre-training a complete model allows it to be directly fine tuned for supervised (both sentence-level and document-level) and unsupervised machine translation, with no task-specific modifications. We demonstrate that adding mBART initialization produces performance gains in all but the highest-resource settings, including up to 12 BLEU points for low resource MT and over 5 BLEU points for many document-level and unsupervised models. We also show it also enables new types of transfer to language pairs with no bi-text or that were not in the pre-training corpus, and present extensive analysis of which factors contribute the most to effective pre-training.

对于多语言序列到序列预审预周序模型（多语言SEQ2SEQ PLM），例如姆巴特（Mbart），自制的预处理任务接受了多种单语言的培训，例如25种来自CommonCrawl的语言，而下游的跨语言任务通常在双语语言子集上进行，例如英语 - 德国人，存在数据差异，即领域的差异，以及跨语言学习客观差异，即在训练和填充阶段之间的任务差异。为了弥合上述跨语言域和任务差距，我们将使用额外的代码切换恢复任务扩展了香草预后管道。具体而言，第一阶段采用自我监督的代码转换还原任务作为借口任务，从而允许多语言SEQ2SEQ PLM获取一些域内对齐信息。在第二阶段，我们正常在下游数据上微调模型。 NLG评估（12个双语翻译任务，30个零射击任务和2项跨语言摘要任务）和NLU评估（7个跨语性自然语言推理任务）的实验表明，我们的模型超过了强大的基线MBART，具有标准的FINETUNNING，这表明了我们的模型策略，一致。分析表明，我们的方法可以缩小跨语性句子表示的欧几里得距离，并通过微不足道的计算成本改善模型概括。我们在：https：//github.com/zanchangtong/csr4mbart上发布代码。

GPT-3等大型自回归语言模型是几秒钟的学习者，可以在没有微调的情况下执行各种语言任务。虽然已知这些模型能够共同代表许多不同的语言，但他们的培训数据由英语主导，可能限制了它们的交叉概括。在这项工作中，我们在覆盖多种语言的平衡语料库上培训多语言自回归语言模型，并在广泛的任务中研究他们几乎没有零点的学习能力。我们最大的模型，具有75亿参数，在20多种代表语言中，在几种代表语言中，在几种代表性语言中，在几种代表性语言中，在多语言型号推理中表现出可比大小的GPT-3（在0次设置和0次拍摄设置中的绝对精度改善+ 7.4％ 4-拍摄设置中的9.4％）和自然语言推理（每次拍摄和4次设置中的每一个+ 5.4％）。在Flores-101机器翻译基准测试中，我们的模型优于GPT-3在182个翻译方向上有32个培训例子，同时超过45个方向的官方监督基线。我们介绍了模型成功和失败的位置的详细分析，特别是它尤其显示在某些任务中实现交叉语境的内容学习，而仍然存在改善表面的鲁棒性和适应没有a的任务的余地自然冻结形式。最后，我们评估我们在仇恨语音检测中以五种语言的仇恨语音检测的模型，并发现它具有与可比大小的GPT-3模型类似的限制。

Pre-trained models have achieved remarkable success in natural language processing (NLP). However, existing pre-training methods underutilize the benefits of language understanding for generation. Inspired by the idea of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), we propose a GAN-style model for encoder-decoder pre-training by introducing an auxiliary discriminator, unifying the ability of language understanding and generation in a single model. Our model, named as GanLM, is trained with two pre-training objectives: replaced token detection and replaced token denoising. Specifically, given masked source sentences, the generator outputs the target distribution and the discriminator predicts whether the target sampled tokens from distribution are incorrect. The target sentence is replaced with misclassified tokens to construct noisy previous context, which is used to generate the gold sentence. In general, both tasks improve the ability of language understanding and generation by selectively using the denoising data. Extensive experiments in language generation benchmarks show that GanLM with the powerful language understanding capability outperforms various strong pre-trained language models (PLMs) and achieves state-of-the-art performance.

机器学习的最新进展显着改善了对源代码数据的理解，并在许多下游任务上取得了良好的表现。像GitHub这样的开源存储库使用丰富的未标记代码数据启用此过程。但是，缺乏高质量标记的数据在很大程度上阻碍了几个相关任务的进度，例如程序翻译，摘要，合成和代码搜索。本文介绍了XLCOST，跨语言代码摘要数据集，这是一种用于跨语言代码智能的新基准数据集。我们的数据集包含来自8种语言（7种常用编程语言和英语）的细粒并行数据，并支持10个跨语性代码任务。据我们所知，就规模和语言数量而言，它是源代码的最大并行数据集。我们还为每个任务提供了几种最先进的基线模型的性能。我们认为，这个新数据集可能是研究界的宝贵资产，并促进了跨语法代码智能的新方法的开发和验证。

我们介绍了MTG，这是一套新的基准套件，用于培训和评估多语言文本生成。它是具有最大人类通知数据（400K）的第一次传播的多语言多路文本生成数据集。它包括五种语言（英语，德语，法语，西班牙语和中文）的四代任务（故事产生，问题生成，标题生成和文本摘要）。Multiway设置可以启用跨语言和任务的模型测试知识传输功能。使用MTG，我们从不同方面训练和分析了几种流行的多语言生成模型。我们的基准套件通过更多的人为宣传的并行数据促进了模型性能增强。它提供了各种一代方案的全面评估。代码和数据可在\ url {https://github.com/zide05/mtg}上获得。

As the complexity of modern software continues to escalate, software engineering has become an increasingly daunting and error-prone endeavor. In recent years, the field of Neural Code Intelligence (NCI) has emerged as a promising solution, leveraging the power of deep learning techniques to tackle analytical tasks on source code with the goal of improving programming efficiency and minimizing human errors within the software industry. Pretrained language models have become a dominant force in NCI research, consistently delivering state-of-the-art results across a wide range of tasks, including code summarization, generation, and translation. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey of the NCI domain, including a thorough review of pretraining techniques, tasks, datasets, and model architectures. We hope this paper will serve as a bridge between the natural language and programming language communities, offering insights for future research in this rapidly evolving field.

训练有素的机器学习模型，利用大量的开源软件数据，现在已经成为自动化许多软件工程任务的有趣方法。几个硒任务都受到这种方法，在过去的几年里，性能逐渐改善，具有更好的模型和培训方法。更多，更多样化，清洁，标记数据更好的培训;但构建高质量的数据集是耗时和挑战。增强清洁量和多样性的方法，标记数据通常具有广泛的适用性。对于某些语言（例如，Ruby）标记的数据不那么丰富;在其他（例如，JavaScript）中，可用数据可能更多地关注某些应用域，从而更加多样化。作为围绕此类数据瓶颈，我们提出了证据表明，不同语言（执行相同功能）的人写代码相当相似，特别是保留标识符命名模式;我们进一步提出了证据表明标识符是软件工程任务培训数据的一个非常重要的要素。我们利用这种相当偶然的现象来查找可用的多语言训练数据（跨不同语言）的证据可用于放大性能。我们研究这一点3个不同的任务：代码摘要，代码检索和功能命名。我们注意到，这种数据增强方法与不同的任务，语言和机器学习模型广泛兼容。

大型语言模型（例如GPT-3（Brown等，2020）可以执行任意任务，而无需在仅使用少数标签示例的提示之后进行微调。可以将任意任务重新构成自然语言提示，并且可以要求语言模型生成完成，并以称为基于及时的学习的范式间接执行该任务。迄今为止，主要针对单向语言模型证明了新兴迅速的学习能力。但是，预先培训的双向语言模型（例如蒙版语言建模）为转移学习提供了更强大的学习表示。这激发了促使双向模型的可能性，但是它们的预训练目标使它们与现有的提示范式不相容。我们提出SAP（顺序自动回旋提示），该技术可以使双向模型提示。利用机器翻译任务作为案例研究，我们提示了带有SAP的双向MT5模型（Xue等，2021），并演示其少量拍摄和零照片的翻译优于GPT-3等单向模型的几个单拍翻译和XGLM（Lin等，2021），尽管MT5的参数减少了约50％。我们进一步表明SAP对问题的回答和摘要有效。我们的结果首次表明基于及时的学习是更广泛的语言模型的新兴属性，而不仅仅是单向模型。

在这项工作中，我们证明了多种语的大规模序列到序列（SEQ2SEQ）模型，该模型是通过Denoising和因果语言建模（CLM）任务的混合物进行训练的，比仅解码器模型更有效地进行了效率的学习者在各种任务上。特别是，我们培训了一个名为Alexa教师模型（Alexatm 20b）的200亿个参数多语言SEQ2SEQ模型，并表明它在1-Shot摘要任务上实现了最先进的（SOTA）性能，超过了更大的540B PALM DOPODER模型。 Alexatm 20b还可以在1-Shot Machine翻译中实现SOTA，尤其是对于低资源语言，几乎所有语言对（阿拉伯语，英语，法语，德语，德语，印地语，意大利语，日语，以及flores-101数据集上的泰卢固语）。我们还显示了零拍设置，AlexATM 20B在SuperGlue和SqueadV2数据集上的表现优于GPT3（175B），并在XNLI，XCOPA，PAWS-X和XWINOGRAD等多语言任务上提供SOTA性能。总体而言，我们的结果为SEQ2SEQ模型提供了一个令人信服的案例，作为大型语言模型（LLM）培训的仅解码器模型的强大替代方法。

Natural language processing for programming, which aims to use NLP techniques to assist programming, has experienced an explosion in recent years. However, there is no literature that systematically reviews related work from the full spectrum. In this paper, we comprehensively investigate existing work, ranging from early deductive models to the latest competition-level models. Another advantage of this paper is the completeness of the technique category, which provides easy access to locating and comparing future works.

我们提出了一种两阶段的培训方法，用于开发单个NMT模型，以翻译英语和英语的看不见的语言。对于第一阶段，我们将编码器模型初始化以鉴定XLM-R和Roberta的权重，然后对25种语言的平行数据进行多种语言微调。我们发现该模型可以推广到对看不见的语言的零击翻译。在第二阶段，我们利用这种概括能力从单语数据集生成合成的并行数据，然后用连续的反向翻译训练。最终模型扩展到了英语到许多方向，同时保持了多到英语的性能。我们称我们的方法为ecxtra（以英语为中心的跨语言（x）转移）。我们的方法依次利用辅助并行数据和单语言数据，并且在概念上很简单，仅在两个阶段都使用标准的跨熵目标。最终的ECXTRA模型对8种低资源语言的无监督NMT进行了评估，该语言为英语至哈萨克语（22.3> 10.4 bleu）以及其他15个翻译方向的竞争性能而获得了新的最先进。

Despite the current success of multilingual pre-training, most prior works focus on leveraging monolingual data or bilingual parallel data and overlooked the value of trilingual parallel data. This paper presents \textbf{Tri}angular Document-level \textbf{P}re-training (\textbf{TRIP}), which is the first in the field to extend the conventional monolingual and bilingual pre-training to a trilingual setting by (i) \textbf{Grafting} the same documents in two languages into one mixed document, and (ii) predicting the remaining one language as the reference translation. Our experiments on document-level MT and cross-lingual abstractive summarization show that TRIP brings by up to 3.65 d-BLEU points and 6.2 ROUGE-L points on three multilingual document-level machine translation benchmarks and one cross-lingual abstractive summarization benchmark, including multiple strong state-of-the-art (SOTA) scores. In-depth analysis indicates that TRIP improves document-level machine translation and captures better document contexts in at least three characteristics: (i) tense consistency, (ii) noun consistency and (iii) conjunction presence.

我们提出了Pangu-Coder，这是一种仅预读的解码器语言模型，该模型采用pangu-alpha架构进行文本到代码生成，即给定自然语言问题描述的编程语言解决方案的合成。我们使用两阶段策略训练Pangu-Coder：第一阶段采用因果语言建模（CLM）来预先培训原始编程语言数据，而第二阶段则使用因果语言建模和掩盖语言建模（MLM）的组合培训目标，专注于文本到代码生成的下游任务，并培训松散的自然语言程序定义和代码功能。最后，我们讨论了pangu-coder-ft，该pander the是通过竞争性编程问题和代码与持续集成测试的结合进行了微调的。我们评估了pangu-coder，重点是它是否生成功能上正确的程序，并证明它在参加较小的上下文窗口和较少的数据培训的同时，它比诸如Codex之类的类似大小的模型（例如Codex）实现等效性或更好的性能。

跨语性摘要是用一种语言（例如英语）以不同语言（例如中文）生成一种语言（例如英语）的摘要。在全球化背景下，这项任务吸引了计算语言学界的越来越多的关注。然而，对于这项任务仍然缺乏全面的审查。因此，我们在该领域的数据集，方法和挑战上介绍了第一个系统的批判性审查。具体而言，我们分别根据不同的构造方法和解决方案范例仔细组织现有的数据集和方法。对于每种类型的数据集或方法，我们彻底介绍并总结了以前的努力，并将它们相互比较以提供更深入的分析。最后，我们还讨论了有希望的方向，并提供了我们的思想，以促进未来的研究。这项调查适用于跨语性摘要的初学者和专家，我们希望它将成为起点，也可以为对该领域感兴趣的研究人员和工程师提供新的想法。

Much recent progress in applications of machine learning models to NLP has been driven by benchmarks that evaluate models across a wide variety of tasks. However, these broad-coverage benchmarks have been mostly limited to English, and despite an increasing interest in multilingual models, a benchmark that enables the comprehensive evaluation of such methods on a diverse range of languages and tasks is still missing. To this end, we introduce the Cross-lingual TRansfer Evaluation of Multilingual Encoders (XTREME) benchmark, a multi-task benchmark for evaluating the cross-lingual generalization capabilities of multilingual representations across 40 languages and 9 tasks. We demonstrate that while models tested on English reach human performance on many tasks, there is still a sizable gap in the performance of cross-lingually transferred models, particularly on syntactic and sentence retrieval tasks. There is also a wide spread of results across languages. We release the benchmark 1 to encourage research on cross-lingual learning methods that transfer linguistic knowledge across a diverse and representative set of languages and tasks.

Universal cross-lingual sentence embeddings map semantically similar cross-lingual sentences into a shared embedding space. Aligning cross-lingual sentence embeddings usually requires supervised cross-lingual parallel sentences. In this work, we propose mSimCSE, which extends SimCSE to multilingual settings and reveal that contrastive learning on English data can surprisingly learn high-quality universal cross-lingual sentence embeddings without any parallel data. In unsupervised and weakly supervised settings, mSimCSE significantly improves previous sentence embedding methods on cross-lingual retrieval and multilingual STS tasks. The performance of unsupervised mSimCSE is comparable to fully supervised methods in retrieving low-resource languages and multilingual STS. The performance can be further enhanced when cross-lingual NLI data is available. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/yaushian/mSimCSE.

Given a natural language that describes the user's demands, the NL2Code task aims to generate code that addresses the demands. This is a critical but challenging task that mirrors the capabilities of AI-powered programming. The NL2Code task is inherently versatile, diverse and complex. For example, a demand can be described in different languages, in different formats, and at different levels of granularity. This inspired us to do this survey for NL2Code. In this survey, we focus on how does neural network (NN) solves NL2Code. We first propose a comprehensive framework, which is able to cover all studies in this field. Then, we in-depth parse the existing studies into this framework. We create an online website to record the parsing results, which tracks existing and recent NL2Code progress. In addition, we summarize the current challenges of NL2Code as well as its future directions. We hope that this survey can foster the evolution of this field.
