Abstract
A large language model, previously pre-trained on multiple source code modeling tasks, is pre-trained, through curriculum learning, to learn to predict a code execution trace given a source code program. The model is pre-trained using a variety of pre-training datasets consisting of pairs of a source code sample and a corresponding execution trace. The curriculum pre-training starts with a pre-training dataset of single line executions and adds in additional pre-training datasets with more increasing complex behaviors. The pre-training datasets include mutation-augmented source code samples and their corresponding execution traces.
