• Authors: Quchen Fu, Zhongwei Teng, Marco Georgaklis, Jules White, Douglas C. Schmidt
• Abstract summary: This paper provides two contributions to research on synthesizing Bash Commands from scratch. First, we describe a state-of-the-art translation model used to generate Bash Commands from the corresponding English text. Second, we introduce a new NL2CMD dataset that is automatically generated, involves minimal human intervention, and is over six times larger than prior datasets.

• Abstract: Translating natural language into Bash Commands is an emerging research field that has gained attention in recent years. Most efforts have focused on producing more accurate translation models. To the best of our knowledge, only two datasets are available, with one based on the other. Both datasets involve scraping through known data sources (through platforms like stack overflow, crowdsourcing, etc.) and hiring experts to validate and correct either the English text or Bash Commands. This paper provides two contributions to research on synthesizing Bash Commands from scratch. First, we describe a state-of-the-art translation model used to generate Bash Commands from the corresponding English text. Second, we introduce a new NL2CMD dataset that is automatically generated, involves minimal human intervention, and is over six times larger than prior datasets. Since the generation pipeline does not rely on existing Bash Commands, the distribution and types of commands can be custom adjusted. We evaluate the performance of ChatGPT on this task and discuss the potential of using it as a data generator. Our empirical results show how the scale and diversity of our dataset can offer unique opportunities for semantic parsing researchers.

  We propose to expand new language pairs by merging the model trained on new language pairs and the existing model. We find that the direct application of task arithmetic for ST causes the merged model to fail to follow instructions. To eliminate language confusion, we propose an augmented task arithmetic method that merges an additional language control model.

• Breaking the Script Barrier in Multilingual Pre-Trained Language Models with Transliteration-Based Post-Training Alignment [50.27950279695363]
  The transfer performance is often hindered when a low-resource target language is written in a different script than the high-resource source language. Inspired by recent work that uses transliteration to address this problem, our paper proposes a transliteration-based post-pretraining alignment (PPA) method.

  Paraphrases are texts that convey the same meaning while using different words or sentence structures. Previous studies have leveraged the knowledge from the machine translation field, forming a paraphrase through zero-shot machine translation in the same language. We propose the first unsupervised multilingual paraphrasing model, LAMPAT, by which monolingual dataset is sufficient enough to generate a human-like and diverse sentence.

  We study cross-lingual semantic parsing as a zero-shot problem without parallel data for 7 test languages. We propose a multi-task encoder-decoder model to transfer parsing knowledge to additional languages using only English-Logical form paired data. Our system frames zero-shot parsing as a latent-space alignment problem and finds that pre-trained models can be improved to generate logical forms with minimal cross-lingual transfer penalty.
