Exploring and Unleashing the Power of Large Language Models in Automated Code Translation

This comprehensive study evaluates the performance of various large language models in the context of automated code translation, highlighting both the potential and challenges faced by current frameworks. Here’s an outline of the research:

  • Examining LLMs: The analysis uncovers that while LLMs show promise, they still face hurdles like accuracy issues and the need for comprehensive task-specific training.

  • UniTrans Framework: Introduces a new framework that utilizes test case generation from source codes to augment and correct LLM-generated translations.

  • Extensive Testing: Conducted on multiple language pairs, demonstrating significant improvements in translation accuracy.

  • Future Directions: The paper suggests that LLMs hold the key to more sophisticated code translation tools, provided these challenges can be successfully navigated.

This study illuminates the path toward using LLMs more effectively in practical code translation scenarios, making a substantial contribution to the field.
