| Challenge: | Software version migration and program translation are costly parts of the lifecycle of large codebases. |
| Approach: | They propose a model that captures semantic and structural equivalence of code in a language agnostic intermediate representation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves state-of-the-art performance on CodeXGLUE and TransCoder GeeksForGeeks translation benchmarks. |

| Challenge: | Existing datasets are often criticized for their lack of granularity, which can mask deficiencies in basic syntactic elements that humans care about. |
| Approach: | They propose a new program translation metrics that address basic syntax errors . they propose BLUE, CodeBLUE and computation accuracy metrics which address these errors based on a highly interpretable evaluation harness. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model passes the unit tests with a 26.15% pass rate compared to previous models . |
