defect and refine tasks for codet5p-16b

[cyw3]

Hi
Nice project!

Do you have the checkpoint and evaluation conclusions of the defect and refine tasks for codet5p-16b?

Here I tested the codet5 defect and refine task examples in codetf, and found that the effect is not very good.

hi, thanks for the question. May i know what do you mean by the "effect"?
Note that we haven't concluded the project and haven't officially released yet, there are still things to improve.

• For Salesforce/codet5-base-codexglue-defect:

code_snippets = """
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int *pointer_var;
    printf("Address of the given pointer variable: %d", pointer_var);
    printf("Value of pointer variable is : %d", * pointer_var);
    return 0;
}
"""
defect_model = load_model_pipeline(model_name="codet5", task="defect",
            model_type="base", is_eval=True,
            load_in_8bit=True, weight_sharding=False)
defects = defect_model.predict([code_snippets])
print(defects)

code_snippets : a c/c++ demo about null pointer error.
But Salesforce/codet5-base-codexglue-defect thinks it's not a defect, and output ['false'].

• For Salesforce/codet5-base-codexglue-refine-medium:

code_snippets = """
class GFG
{
    public void test ()
    {
        // Initializing String variable with null value
        String ptr = null;

        // This line of code throws NullPointerException
        // because ptr is null
        if (ptr.equals("gfg"))
            System.out.print("Same");
        else
            System.out.print("Not Same");
    }
}
"""
refine_model = load_model_pipeline(model_name="codet5", task="refine",
            model_type="base", is_eval=True,
            load_in_8bit=True, weight_sharding=False)
refines = refine_model.predict([code_snippets])
print(refines)

code_snippets : a java demo about null pointer error.
But Salesforce/codet5-base-codexglue-refine-medium output the fixed version with more defects:

public void test ( ) {
    // Initializing String variable with null value
    String ptr = null ;
    // This line of code throws NullPointerException because ptr is null
    if ( ptr. equals ( "gfg" ) )
        java.lang.System.out.print ( "Same" ) ;
    else
        java.lang.System.out.print ( "Not Same" ) ;
}

• defect 1: ptr.equals will have null pointer error.
• defect2: java.lang.System.out.print

i see, thanks for this, the CodeT5-defect is fine-tuned on this data from Microsoft CodeXGLUE: https://github.com/microsoft/CodeXGLUE/tree/main/Code-Code/Defect-detection. In fact, this dataset is mostly used for academic research, apply the results into real-world application can produce unsatisfied result for many cases.

You can check more on the results in CodeT5 paper: https://aclanthology.org/2021.emnlp-main.685.pdf.

Thanks.

Do you have more datasets about defect and refine to recommend?
