Abstract: Using a natural language (NL) latent presentation in the automated conversion of source code from a base programming language (e.g., C++) to a target programming language (e.g., Python). A base-to-NL model can be used to generate an NL latent representation by processing a base source code snippet in the base programming language. Further, an NL-to-target model can be used to generate a target source code snippet in the target programming language (that is functionally equivalent to the base source code snippet), by processing the NL latent representation. In some implementations, output(s) from the NL-to-target model indicate canonical representation(s) of variables, and in generating the target source code snippet, technique(s) are used to match those canonical representation(s) to variable(s) of the base source code snippet. In some implementations, multiple candidate target source code snippets are generated, and a subset (e.g., one) is selected based on evaluation(s).

Abstract: A lightweight stacked optical waveguide using two plastic substrates having nano-structure gratings and a single glass substrate sandwiched between them. The nano-structure gratings face each other, and are each encapsulated within the optical waveguide. The two plastic substrates are each adhesively secured to the central glass substrate rather than to each other to provide sufficient securing strength and precisely establish and maintain an air gap between the substrates. The thickness of the plastic substrates and the glass substrate are selected such that the stacked optical waveguide is lightweight, but also has sufficient drop performance. The stacked optical waveguide can be efficiently manufactured as the adhesive bonds a plastic substrate to a glass substrate.
