This is a tool for preprocessing source code corpora according to a specified vocabulary modeling choice.
Supported modeling choices are:
- Splitting algorithm (no identifier splitting, camel-case splitting, snake-case splitting, BPE (byte-pair-encoding), number-splitting, ronin: http://joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21105/joss.00653);
- Number of merges if using BPE;
- Ignoring/preserving string literals;
- Ignoring/preserving comments;
- Preserving case/lowercasing;
- Preserving/ignoring newlines and tabs.
- applying/not applying stemming after basic splitting
Make sure you have python >= 3.6 installed in your system; pip, setuptools and wheel are up to date.
python --version
python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheelInstall codeprep lib:
pip install codeprepIn order to run the ronin algorithm, you will have to additionally install Spiral module (https://github.com/casics/spiral/):
pip install git+https://github.com/casics/spiral.gitThe tool can be used as a python library as well as a standalone module runnable with a CLI.
You can pass the path to the dataset or the text itself to be preprocessed. When using Python API for the former option
you need to import methods from codeprep.api.text module, for the latter - from codeprep.api.corpus.
Below you can see the general patterns of usage.
Python API
>>> import codeprep.api.text as cp
>>> cp.<commmand>('Some code to be split')>>> import codeprep.api.corpus as cp
>>> cp.<commmand>('/path/to/the/dataset')CLI
codeprep <commmand> "Some code to be split"codeprep <commmand> --path /path/to/the/datasetHereafter we will demonstrate the usage as a python library. The CLI is analogous to the python API. You can find the documentation about how to use it here.
Tokenization + CamelCase- and snake_case- splitting:
>>> import codeprep.api.text as cp
>>> input_code = '''void test_WordUeberraschungPrinter() {
... if (eps >= 0.345e+4) { // FIXME
... printWord(" ... Überraschung");
... }
... }'''
>>> cp.basic(input_code)
['void', '<w>', 'test', '_', 'Word', 'Ueberraschung', 'Printer', '</w>', '(', ')', '{', '\n',
'\t', 'if', '(', 'eps', '>', '=', '0', '.', '<w>', '345', 'e', '</w>', '+', '4', ')', '{', '/', '/', 'FIXME', '\n',
'\t', '\t', '<w>', 'print', 'Word', '</w>', '(', '"', '\t', '.', '.', '.', '\t', 'Überraschung', '"', ')', ';', '\n',
'\t', '}', '\n',
'}']>>> import codeprep.api.text as cp
>>> input_code = '''void test_WordUeberraschungPrinter() {
... if (eps >= 0.345e+4) { // FIXME
... printWord(" ... Überraschung");
... }
... }'''
>>> cp.nosplit(input_code)
['void', 'test_WordUeberraschungPrinter', '(', ')', '{', '\n',
'\t', 'if', '(', 'eps', '>', '=', '0', '.', '345e', '+', '4', ')', '{', '/', '/', 'FIXME', '\n',
'\t', '\t', 'printWord', '(', '"', '\t', '.', '.', '.', '\t', 'Überraschung', '"', ')', ';', '\n',
'\t', '}', '\n',
'}']The following code does camelCase- and snake_case- splitting and applies bpe with 10k merges on top:
>>> import codeprep.api.text as cp
>>> input_code = '''void test_WordUeberraschungPrinter() {
... if (eps >= 0.345e+4) { // FIXME
... printWord(" ... Überraschung");
... }
... }'''
>>> cp.bpe(input_code, bpe_codes_id='10k')
['v', 'oid</t>', 'test_', 'Word', 'U', 'eb', 'err', 'as', 'ch', 'un', 'g', 'Print', 'er</t>', '(</t>', ')</t>', '{</t>', '\n',
'\t', 'i', 'f</t>', '(</t>', 'e', 'ps</t>', '></t>', '=</t>', '0</t>', '.</t>', '34', '5', 'e</t>', '+</t>', '4</t>', ')</t>', '{</t>', '/</t>', '/</t>', 'FIX', 'M', 'E</t>', '\n',
'\t', '\t', 'print', 'Word</t>', '(</t>', '"</t>', '\t', '.</t>', '.</t>', '.</t>', '\t', 'Ü', 'b', 'err', 'as', 'ch', 'un', 'g</t>', '"</t>', ')</t>', ';</t>', '\n',
'\t', '}</t>', '\n',
'}</t>']codeprep by default does BPE using bpe codes leaned on the Github Java Corpus. The argument bpe_codes_id='10k' tells the codeprep tool to use 10,000 bpe merges.
Other possible values are 1k and 5k (1,000 and 5,000 merges respectively). Please refer to section Learning custom BPE codes to train custom bpe codes.
For other commands and options like chars, --split-numbers, --ronin, --stem, please refer to the docs.
Set calc_vocab param to True when calling a preprocessing method to calculate the vocabulary of the preprocessed corpus, e.g.:
>>> import codeprep.api.corpus as cp
>>> cp.basic('/path/to/train/on', calc_vocab=True)
...
Vocab is available at /path/to/vocabIf you don't want to use, pre-trained BPE codes, it's possible to train custom ones. For example, to train 10,000 merges on the corpus located at the path /path/to/train/on, the following command should be run (only CLI):
codeprep learn-bpe 10000 -p /path/to/train/on --id custom-bpe-codes Now it is possible to do bpe splitting by running the bpe command with the number of merges from 0 to 10,000 (for example with 3500 merges):
codeprep bpe custom-bpe-codes-3500 -p /path/to/preprocess Before bpe codes are trained, the basic preprocessing is done, which can also be tuned with arguments described in section Tweaking preprocessing.
You can pass the following parameters with a True value (default values for all of them are False), to tweak the way the imput is preprocessed:
no_str- replace strings with placeholders.no_com- replace comments with placeholders.no_spaces- remove newlines and tabs.no_unicode- replace words containing non-ascii characters with placeholders.no_case- lowercase words and encode information about case in tokens.
>>> import codeprep.api.text as cp
>>> input_code = '''void test_WordUeberraschungPrinter() {
... if (eps >= 0.345e+4) { // FIXME
... printWord(" ... Überraschung");
... }
... }'''
>>> cp.basic(input_code, no_spaces=True, no_unicode=True, no_case=True, no_com=True, no_str=True)
['void', '<w>', 'test', '_', '<Cap>', 'word', '<Cap>', 'ueberraschung', '<Cap>', 'printer', '</w>', '(', ')', '{',
'if', '(', 'eps', '>', '=', '0', '.', '<w>', '345', 'e', '</w>', '+', '4', ')', '{', '/', '/', '<CAPS>', 'fixme',
'<w>', 'print', '<Cap>', 'word', '</w>', '(', '"', '.', '.', '.', '<Cap>', '<non-en>', '"', ')', ';',
'}',
'}']Similar params can be specified as switches --no-str, --no-com, --no-spaces, --no-unicode, --no-case in CLI commands.
Unless explicitely specified, codeprep will assume the language is java. To make sure the input is preprocessed as intended, it is always highly recommended to specify it:
import codeprep.api.text as cp
>>> cp.bpe("volatile", '1k')
['volatile']
>>> cp.bpe("volatile", '1k', extension="py")
['v', 'ol', 'a', 'ti', 'le</t>']
# Since 'volatile' is a keyword in java, it is represented as one token unlike in python
# where it is pretty rare when used as an identifier and therefore represented as multiple subtokens.When preprocessing a corpus, codeprep identifies the language based on the file extension. If you want only files with (a) certain extension(s) to be preprocessed, you can specify --ext param
codeprep basic --path /path/to/be/preprocessed --ext "java"
# or if you want to pre-process multiple types of files:
codeprep basic --path /path/to/be/preprocessed --ext "java|c|py|js"You can specify the path to where the preprocessed corpus will be written:
codeprep basic --path /path/to/preprocess --output-path /path/to/outputTo print logs with log level DEBUG and higher to stdout:
codeprep basic --path /path/to/preprocess --verboseTo get help on commands and options:

When preprocessing a dataset, codeprep first parses source code and converts it into internal representation, which is after that converted to a preprocessed dataset depending on provided parameters. The intermediate representation is cached, so that when the same dataset is pre-processed again with different parameters, codeprep (providing no changes have been made to the dataset) would use the cache rather than parsing the source code again.
To store the cache, codeprep uses a directory speecified by $XDG_CACHE_HOME/codeprep/<codeprep_version> variable if its value is set,
$HOME/.cache/codeprep/<codeprep_version> otherwise.
Removing the cache will not change the final result, however, will result in slower pre-processing.
