• Abstract summary: We formulate the multilingual clone detection problem and present XCD, a new benchmark dataset produced from the CodeForces submissions dataset. We present a novel training procedure, called cross-consistency training (CCT), that we apply to train language models on source code in different programming languages. The resulting CCT-LM model achieves new state of the art, outperforming existing approaches on the POJ-104 clone detection benchmark with 95.67% MAP and AdvTest code search benchmark with 47.18% MRR.

• Abstract: We consider the clone detection and information retrieval problems for source code, well-known tasks important for any programming language. Although it is also an important and interesting problem to find code snippets that operate identically but are written in different programming languages, to the best of our knowledge multilingual clone detection has not been studied in literature. In this work, we formulate the multilingual clone detection problem and present XCD, a new benchmark dataset produced from the CodeForces submissions dataset. Moreover, we present a novel training procedure, called cross-consistency training (CCT), that we apply to train language models on source code in different programming languages. The resulting CCT-LM model, initialized with GraphCodeBERT and fine-tuned with CCT, achieves new state of the art, outperforming existing approaches on the POJ-104 clone detection benchmark with 95.67\% MAP and AdvTest code search benchmark with 47.18\% MRR; it also shows the best results on the newly created multilingual clone detection benchmark XCD across all programming languages.

  We propose a novel method named ZC3 for Zero-shot Cross-language Code Clone detection. ZC3 designs the contrastive snippet prediction to form an isomorphic representation space among different programming languages. Based on this, ZC3 exploits domain-aware learning and cycle consistency learning to generate representations that are aligned among different languages are diacritical for different types of clones.

  We evaluate contrastive learning for detecting semantic clones of code snippets. We use CodeTransformator to create a dataset that mimics plagiarised code based on competitive programming solutions. The results of our evaluation show that proposed models perform diversely in each task, however the performance of the graph-based models is generally above the others.

  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.

  We propose an enhanced fusion method that takes cross-lingual data as input for XLM finetuning. During inference, the model makes predictions based on the text input in the target language and its translation in the source language. To tackle this issue, we propose an additional KL-divergence self-teaching loss for model training, based on auto-generated soft pseudo-labels for translated text in the target language.
