Code search is vital in the maintenance and extension of software systems. Past works have used separate language models for the natural language and programming language artifacts on models with multiple encoders and different loss functions. Similarly, this work approaches code search for Python as a translation retrieval problem while the natural language queries and the programming language are treated as two types of languages. By using dual encoders, these two types of language sequences are projected onto a shared embedding space, in which the distance reflects the similarity between a given pair of query and code. However, in contrast to previous work, this approach uses a unified language model, and a dual encoder structure with a cosine similarity loss function. A unified language model helps the model take advantage of the considerable overlap of words between the artifacts, making the learning much easier. On the other hand, the dual encoders trained with cosine similarity loss helps the model learn the underlining patterns of which terms are important for predicting linked pairs of artifacts. Evaluation shows the proposed model achieves performance better than state-of-the-art code search models. In addition, this model is much less expensive in terms of time and complexity, offering a cheaper, faster, and better alternative.
