# XVCLM

For in-depth understanding of our model and methods, please see our blog [here](https://binarybardakshat.medium.com/xvclm-revolutionizing-code-interpretation-9e9fd84de3c3)

## Model description

XVCLM is a transformer-based model designed to explain and summarize code. It has been pre-trained on approximately **1 million code/description pairs** and fine-tuned on a curated set of **10,000 high-quality examples**. XVCLM can handle short to medium code snippets in:

- Python
- JavaScript (including frameworks like React)
- Java
- Ruby
- Go
- PHP

The model outputs descriptions in English.

## Intended uses

XVCLM, without any additional fine-tuning, can explain code in a few sentences and typically performs best with Python and JavaScript. We recommend using XVCLM for:

- Simple code explanations
- Documentation generation
- Producing synthetic data to enhance model explanations

### How to use

You can use this model directly with a pipeline for text-to-text generation, as shown below:

```python
from transformers import pipeline, set_seed

summarizer = pipeline('text2text-generation', model='Binarybardakshat/XVCLM-MIN-DECT')
code = "print('hello world!')"

response = summarizer(code, max_length=100, num_beams=3)
print("Summarized code: " + response[0]['generated_text'])

```

Which should yield something along the lines of:

```
Summarized code: The following code is greeting the world.
```


### Model sizes

- XVCLM (this repo): 1 Million Parameters
- XVCLM-Small: 220 Million Parameters

### Limitations

XVCLM may produce overly simplistic descriptions that don't cover the entirety of a code snippet. We believe that with more diverse training data, we can overcome this limitation and achieve better results.
