Social media platforms have surpassed cultural and linguistic boundaries, thus enabling online communication worldwide. However, the expanded use of various languages has intensified the challenge of online detection of hate speech content. Despite the release of multiple Natural Language Processing (NLP) solutions implementing cutting-edge machine learning techniques, the scarcity of data, especially labeled data, remains a considerable obstacle, which further requires the use of semisupervised approaches along with Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) techniques. This paper introduces an innovative approach, a multilingual semisupervised model combining Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Pretrained Language Models (PLMs), more precisely mBERT and XLM-RoBERTa. Our approach proves its effectiveness in the detection of hate speech and offensive language in Indo-European languages (in English, German, and Hindi) when employing only 20% annotated data from the HASOC2019 dataset, thereby presenting significantly high performances in each of multilingual, zero-shot crosslingual, and monolingual training scenarios. Our study provides a robust mBERT-based semisupervised GAN model (SS-GAN-mBERT) that outperformed the XLM-RoBERTa-based model (SS-GAN-XLM) and reached an average F1 score boost of 9.23% and an accuracy increase of 5.75% over the baseline semisupervised mBERT model.

This paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature concerning the utilization of Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, with a particular focus on transformer-based large language models (LLMs) trained using Big Code, within the domain of AI-assisted programming tasks. LLMs, augmented with software naturalness, have played a crucial role in facilitating AI-assisted programming applications, including code generation, code completion, code translation, code refinement, code summarization, defect detection, and clone detection. Notable examples of such applications include the GitHub Copilot powered by OpenAI's Codex and DeepMind AlphaCode. This paper presents an overview of the major LLMs and their applications in downstream tasks related to AI-assisted programming. Furthermore, it explores the challenges and opportunities associated with incorporating NLP techniques with software naturalness in these applications, with a discussion on extending AI-assisted programming capabilities to Apple's Xcode for mobile software development. This paper also presents the challenges of and opportunities for incorporating NLP techniques with software naturalness, empowering developers with advanced coding assistance and streamlining the software development process.
