• Abstract summary: The effectiveness of our dataset is assessed using both quantitative (CodeBLEU) and qualitative (human evaluation) methods. Models without prior coding knowledge experienced a boost of $mathbftimes5.1$ in CodeBLEU scores. Models with some coding familiarity saw an impressive $mathbftimes9.9$-fold increase.

• Abstract: In this study, we present a novel dataset for training machine learning models translating between OpenMP Fortran and C++ code. To ensure reliability and applicability, the dataset is created from a range of representative open-source OpenMP benchmarks. It is also refined using a meticulous code similarity test. The effectiveness of our dataset is assessed using both quantitative (CodeBLEU) and qualitative (human evaluation) methods. We showcase how this dataset significantly elevates the translation competencies of large language models (LLMs). Specifically, models without prior coding knowledge experienced a boost of $\mathbf{\times~5.1}$ in their CodeBLEU scores, while models with some coding familiarity saw an impressive $\mathbf{\times~9.9}$-fold increase. The best fine-tuned model using our dataset outperforms GPT-4. It is also reaching human-level accuracy. This work underscores the immense potential of our dataset in propelling advancements in the domain of code translation for high-performance computing. The dataset is accessible at \href{https://github.com/bin123apple/Fortran-CPP-HPC-code-translation-dataset}{OpenMP-Fortran-CPP-Translation}.

  Minimum Bayes Risk (MBR) decoding is a text generation technique that has been shown to improve the quality of machine translations. It requires the pairwise calculation of a utility metric, which has quadratic complexity. We propose to approximate pairwise metric scores with scores calculated against aggregated reference representations.

  Tabular data is hard to acquire and is subject to missing values. This paper introduces a novel approach for generating and imputing mixed-type (continuous and categorical) data. In contrast to prior methods that rely on neural networks to learn the score function or the vector field, we adopt XGBoost.

  Continual Learning (CL) is an important aspect that remains underexplored in the code domain. We introduce a benchmark called CodeTask-CL that covers a wide range of tasks, including code generation, translation, summarization, and refinement. We find that effective methods like Prompt Pooling (PP) suffer from catastrophic forgetting due to the unstable training of the prompt selection mechanism.
