• Authors: Swapnil Sharma, Nikita Anand, Kranthi Kiran G. V
• Abstract summary: Large language models pre-trained for code generation can generate high-quality short code but often struggle with generating coherent long code. This issue is also observed in language modeling for long text generation. In this study, we investigate whether this technique can be applied to code generation to improve coherence.

• Abstract: Large language models pre-trained for code generation can generate high-quality short code but often struggle with generating coherent long code and understanding higher-level or system-level specifications. This issue is also observed in language modeling for long text generation, and one proposed solution is the use of a latent stochastic process. This approach involves generating a document plan and then producing text that is consistent with it. In this study, we investigate whether this technique can be applied to code generation to improve coherence. We base our proposed encoder and decoder on the pre-trained GPT-2 based CodeParrot model and utilize the APPS dataset for training. We evaluate our results using the HumanEval benchmark and observe that the modified Time Control model performs similarly to CodeParrot on this evaluation.

  This paper compares various methods, including tuning with encoder-based models and large language models under equal conditions. Experimental results show that compared to the tuned encoder-based models, the tuned decoder-based models perform poorly. It is also revealed that in-context learning of very large decoder-based models such as ChatGPT makes it difficult to identify fine-grained semantic differences.

  We propose a simple data augmentation framework for pre-trained language models for code (PLMCs) Our framework utilizes knowledge gained during the pre-training and fine-tuning stage to generate pseudo data, which is then used as training data for the next step. The results show that our framework significantly improves PLMCs' performance in code-related sequence generation tasks.
