# Dataset Card for BabelCode Transcoder

## Dataset Description

- **Repository:** [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/google-research/babelcode)
- **Paper:** [Measuring The Impact Of Programming Language Distribution](https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.01973)

### How To Use This Dataset

To use this dataset, you can either use the original [BabelCode Repo](https://github.com/google-research/babelcode), or you can use the [`bc_eval` Metric](https://huggingface.co/spaces/gabeorlanski/bc_eval).

### Dataset Summary

The [Transcoder](https://github.com/facebookresearch/CodeGen) dataset in BabelCode format. Currently supports translation from C++ and Python.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

### Languages
BC-Transcoder supports:
* C++
* C#
* Dart
* Go
* Haskell
* Java
* Javascript
* Julia
* Kotlin
* Lua
* PHP
* Python
* R
* Rust
* Scala
* TypeScript

## Dataset Structure

```python
>>> from datasets import load_dataset
>>> load_dataset("gabeorlanski/bc-transcoder")
DatasetDict({
    test: Dataset({
        features: ['qid', 'title', 'language', 'signature', 'arguments', 'source_py', 'source_cpp', 'question_info'],
        num_rows: 8384
    })
})
```

### Data Fields

- `qid`: The question ID used for running tests.
- `title`: The title of the question.
- `language`: The programming language of the example.
- `signature`: The signature for the problem.
- `arguments`: The arguments of the problem.
- `source_py`: The source solution in Python.
- `source_cpp`: The source in C++.
- `question_info`: The dict of information used for executing predictions. It has the keys:
  - `test_code`: The raw testing script used in the language. If you want to use this, replace `PLACEHOLDER_FN_NAME` (and `PLACEHOLDER_CLS_NAME` if needed) with the corresponding entry points. Next, replace `PLACEHOLDER_CODE_BODY` with the postprocessed prediction.  
  - `test_list`: The raw json line of the list of tests for the problem. To load them, use `json.loads`
  - `test_case_ids`: The list of test case ids for the problem. These are used to determine if a prediction passes or not.
  - `entry_fn_name`: The function's name to use an entry point.
  - `entry_cls_name`: The class name to use an entry point. 
  - `commands`: The commands used to execute the prediction. Includes a `__FILENAME__` hole that is replaced with the filename.
  - `timeouts`: The default timeouts for each command.
  - `extension`: The extension for the prediction file.

**NOTE:** If you want to use a different function name (or class name for languages that require class names) for the prediction, you must update the `entry_fn_name` and `entry_cls_name` accordingly. For example, if you have the original question with `entry_fn_name` of `add`, but want to change it to `f`, you must update `ds["question_info"]["entry_fn_name"]` to `f`:
```python
>>> from datasets import load_dataset
>>> ds = load_dataset("gabeorlanski/bc-mbpp")['test']
>>> # The original entry_fn_name
>>> ds[0]['question_info']['entry_fn_name']
removeOcc
>>> # You MUST update the corresponding entry_fn_name
>>> ds[0]['question_info']['entry_fn_name'] = 'f'
>>> ds[0]['question_info']['entry_fn_name']
f
```
