CodeBERTaJS is a RoBERTa-like model trained on the [CodeSearchNet](https://github.blog/2019-09-26-introducing-the-codesearchnet-challenge/) dataset from GitHub for `javaScript` by [Manuel Romero](https://twitter.com/mrm8488)
The **tokenizer** is a Byte-level BPE tokenizer trained on the corpus using Hugging Face `tokenizers`.
Because it is trained on a corpus of code (vs. natural language), it encodes the corpus efficiently (the sequences are between 33% to 50% shorter, compared to the same corpus tokenized by gpt2/roberta).
The (small) **model** is a 6-layer, 84M parameters, RoBERTa-like Transformer model – that’s the same number of layers & heads as DistilBERT – initialized from the default initialization settings and trained from scratch on the full `javascript` corpus (120M after preproccessing) for 2 epochs.
## Quick start: masked language modeling prediction
```python
JS_CODE="""
async function createUser(req, <mask>) {
if (!validUser(req.body.user)) {
return res.status(400);
}
user = userService.createUser(req.body.user);
return res.json(user);
}
""".lstrip()
```
### Does the model know how to complete simple JS/express like code?
```python
fromtransformersimportpipeline
fill_mask=pipeline(
"fill-mask",
model="mrm8488/codeBERTaJS",
tokenizer="mrm8488/codeBERTaJS"
)
fill_mask(JS_CODE)
## Top 5 predictions:
#
'res'# prob 0.069489665329
'next'
'req'
'user'
',req'
```
### Yes! That was easy 🎉 Let's try with another example
```python
JS_CODE_="""
function getKeys(obj) {
keys = [];
for (var [key, value] of Object.entries(obj)) {
keys.push(<mask>);
}
return keys
}
""".lstrip()
```
Results:
```python
'obj','key',' value','keys','i'
```
> Not so bad! Right token was predicted as second option! 🎉
