E-PRedictor: an approach for early prediction of pull request acceptance

A pull request(PR) is an event in Git where a contributor asks project maintainers to review code he/she wants to merge into a project. The PR mechanism greatly improves the efficiency of distributed software development in the opensource community. Nevertheless, the massive number of PRs in an open-source software(OSS) project increases the workload of developers. To reduce the burden on developers, many previous studies have investigated factors that affect the chance of PRs getting accepted and built prediction models based on these factors. However, most prediction models are built on the data after PRs are submitted for a while(e.g., comments on PRs), making them not useful in practice. Because integrators still need to spend a large amount of effort on inspecting PRs. In this study, we propose an approach named E-PRedictor(earlier PR predictor) to predict whether a PR will be merged when it is created. E-PRedictor combines three dimensions of manual statistic features(i.e., contributor profile, specific pull request, and project profile) and deep semantic features generated by BERT models based on the description and code changes of PRs. To evaluate the performance of E-PRedictor, we collect475192 PRs from 49 popular open-source projects on GitHub. The experiment results show that our proposed approach can effectively predict whether a PR will be merged or not. E-PRedictor outperforms the baseline models(e.g., Random Forest and VDCNN) built on manual features significantly. In terms of F1@Merge, F1@Reject, and AUC(area under the receiver operating characteristic curve), the performance of E-PRedictor is 90.1%, 60.5%, and 85.4%, respectively.

Mashup developers often need to find open application programming interfaces(APIs) for their composition application development. Although most enterprises and service organizations have encapsulated their businesses or resources online as open APIs, finding the right high-quality open APIs is not an easy task from a library with several open APIs. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a deep learning-based open API recommendation(DLOAR) approach. First, the hierarchical density-based spatial clustering of applications with a noise topic model is constructed to build topic models for Mashup clusters. Second,developers' requirement keywords are extracted by the Text Rank algorithm, and the language model is built. Third, a neural network-based three-level similarity calculation is performed to find the most relevant open APIs. Finally, we complement the relevant information of open APIs in the recommended list to help developers make better choices. We evaluate the DLOAR approach on a real dataset and compare it with commonly used open API recommendation approaches: term frequency-inverse document frequency, latent dirichlet allocation, Word2Vec, and Sentence-BERT. The results show that the DLOAR approach has better performance than the other approaches in terms of precision, recall, F1-measure, mean average precision,and mean reciprocal rank.

Vulnerabilities are disclosed with corresponding patches so that users can remediate them in time. However, there are instances where patches are not released with the disclosed vulnerabilities, causing hidden dangers, especially if dependent software remains uninformed about the affected code repository. Hence, it is crucial to automatically locate security patches for disclosed vulnerabilities among a multitude of commits. Despite the promising performance of existing learning-based localization approaches, they still suffer from the following limitations: (1) They cannot perform well in data scarcity scenarios. Most neural models require extensive datasets to capture the semantic correlations between the vulnerability description and code commits, while the number of disclosed vulnerabilities with patches is limited. (2) They struggle to capture the deep semantic correlations between the vulnerability description and code commits due to inherent differences in semantics and characters between code changes and commit messages. It is difficult to use one model to capture the semantic correlations between vulnerability descriptions and code commits. To mitigate these two limitations, in this paper, we propose a novel security patch localization approach named Prom VPat, which utilizes the dual prompt tuning channel to capture the semantic correlation between vulnerability descriptions and commits, especially in data scarcity (i.e., few-shot) scenarios. We first input the commit message and code changes with the vulnerability description into the prompt generator to generate two new inputs with prompt templates. Then, we adopt a pre-trained language model (i.e., PLM) as the encoder, utilize the prompt tuning method to fine-tune the encoder, and generate two correlation probabilities as the semantic features. In addition, we extract 26 handcrafted features from the vulnerability descriptions and the code commits. Finally, we utilize the attention mechanism to fuse the

Wearing a helmet is one of the effective measures to protect workers' safety. To address the challenges of severe occlusion, multi-scale, and small target issues in helmet detection, this paper proposes a helmet detection algorithm based on deformable attention transformers. The main contributions of this paper are as follows. A compact end-to-end network architecture for safety helmet detection based on transformers is proposed. It cancels the computationally intensive transformer encoder module in the existing detection transformer(DETR) and uses the transformer decoder module directly on the output of feature extraction for query decoding, which effectively improves the efficiency of helmet detection. A novel feature extraction network named Swin transformer with deformable attention module(DSwin transformer) is proposed. By sparse cross-window attention, it enhances the contextual awareness of multi-scale features extracted by Swin transformer, and keeps high computational efficiency simultaneously. The proposed method generates the query reference points and query embeddings based on the joint prediction probabilities, and selects an appropriate number of decoding feature maps and sparse sampling points for query decoding, which further enhance the inference capability and processing speed. On the benchmark safety-helmet-wearing-dataset(SHWD), the proposed method achieves the average detection accuracy mAP@0.5 of 95.4% with 133.35G floating-point operations per second(FLOPs) and 20 frames per second(FPS), the state-of-the-art method for safety helmet detection.

Automated Program Repair (APR) presents the promising momentum of releasing developers from the burden of manual debugging tasks by automatically fixing bugs in various ways. Recent advances in deep learning inspire many works in employing deep learning techniques to fixing buggy programs. However, several challenges remain unaddressed: (1) state-of-the-art fault localization techniques often require additional artifacts, such as bug-triggering test cases or bug reports. These artifacts are not always available in the early development phases;(2) Sequence-to-Sequence model-based APR often requires additional contexts with high quality to generate patches. Yet, it is challenging to identify high-quality contexts that are not common in *** this paper, with the redundancy assumption in program repair, we propose a dual deep learning-based APR tool, RATCHET, for localizing (RATCHET-FL) and repairing (Ratchet-PG) buggy programs. Ratchet-FL localizes buggy statements based on the feature learned by a simple BiLSTM model from the code, without any bug-triggering test cases or bug reports. Ratchet-PG relies on our proposed retrieval augmented transformer to learn the historical patches and generate patches for fixing bugs. We evaluate the effectiveness of Ratchet with in-the-lab DrRepair dataset and in-the-wild dataset Ratchet-DS (curated in this work). Our experimental results show that Ratchet outperforms state-of-the-art deep learning approaches on fault localization with 39.8-96.4% accuracy and patch generation with 18.4-46.4% repair accuracy. © 2024 IEEE.

Numerous mobile apps have leveraged deep learning capabilities. However, on-device models are vulnerable to attacks as they can be easily extracted from their corresponding mobile apps. Although the structure and parameters information of these models can be accessed, existing on-device attacking approaches only generate black-box attacks (i.e., indirect white-box attacks), which are less effective and efficient than white-box strategies. This is because mobile deep learning (DL) frameworks like TensorFlow Lite (TFLite) do not support gradient computing (referred to as non-debuggable models), which is necessary for white-box attacking algorithms. Thus, we argue that existing findings may underestimate the harm-fulness of on-device attacks. To validate this, we systematically analyze the difficulties of transforming the on-device model to its debuggable version and propose a Reverse engineering framework for On-device Models (REOM), which automatically reverses the compiled on-device TFLite model to its debuggable version, enabling attackers to launch white-box attacks. Our empirical results show that our approach is effective in achieving automated transformation (i.e., 92.6%) among 244 TFLite models. Compared with previous attacks using surrogate models, REOM enables attackers to achieve higher attack success rates (10.23%→89.03%) with a hun-dred times smaller attack perturbations (1.0→0.01). Our findings emphasize the need for developers to carefully consider their model deployment strategies, and use white-box methods to evaluate the vulnerability of on-device models.

To date, over 40 Automated Program Repair (APR) tools have been designed with varying bug-fixing strategies, which have been demonstrated to have complementary performance in terms of being effective for different bug classes. Intuitively, it should be feasible to improve the overall bug-fixing performance of APR via assembling existing tools. Unfortunately, simply invoking all available APR tools for a given bug can result in unacceptable costs on APR execution as well as on patch validation (via expensive testing). Therefore, while assembling existing tools is appealing, it requires an efficient strategy to reconcile the need to fix more bugs and the requirements for practicality. In light of this problem, we propose a Preference-based Ensemble Program Repair framework (P-EPR), which seeks to effectively rank APR tools for repairing different bugs. P-EPR is the first non-learning-based APR ensemble method that is novel in its exploitation of repair patterns as a major source of knowledge for ranking APR tools and its reliance on a dynamic update strategy that enables it to immediately exploit and benefit from newly derived repair results. Experimental results show that P-EPR outperforms existing strategies significantly both in flexibility and effectiveness. © 2024 IEEE Computer Society. All rights reserved.

During software development, vulnerabilities have posed a significant threat to users. Patches are the most effective way to combat vulnerabilities. In a large-scale software system, testing the presence of a security patch in every affected binary is crucial to ensure system security. Identifying whether a binary has been patched for a known vulnerability is challenging, as there may only be small differences between patched and vulnerable versions. Existing approaches mainly focus on detecting patches that are compiled in the same compiler options. However, it is common for developers to compile programs with very different compiler options in different situations, which causes inaccuracy for existing methods. In this paper, we propose a new approach named PS3, referring to precise patch presence test based on semantic-level symbolic signature. PS3 exploits symbolic emulation to extract signatures that are stable under different compiler options. Then PS3 can precisely test the presence of the patch by comparing the signatures between the reference and the target at semantic level. To evaluate the effectiveness of our approach, we constructed a dataset consisting of 3,631 (CVE, binary) pairs of 62 recent CVEs in four C/C++ projects. The experimental results show that PS3 achieves scores of 0.82, 0.97, and 0.89 in terms of precision, recall, and F1 score, respectively. PS3 outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines by improving 33% in terms of F1 score and remains stable in different compiler options. © 2024 ACM.

Code review is a standard practice for ensuring the quality of software projects, and recent research has focused extensively on automated code review. While significant advancements have been made in generating code reviews, the automated assessment of these reviews remains less explored, with existing approaches and metrics often proving inaccurate. Current metrics, such as BLEU, primarily rely on lexical similarity between generated and reference reviews. However, such metrics tend to underestimate reviews that articulate the expected issues in ways different from the references. In this paper, we explore how semantic similarity between generated and reference reviews can enhance the automated assessment of code reviews. We first present a benchmark called GradedReviews, which is constructed by collecting real-world code reviews from open-source projects, generating reviews using state-of-the-art approaches, and manually assessing their quality. We then evaluate existing metrics for code review assessment using this benchmark, revealing their limitations. To address these limitations, we propose two novel semantic-based approaches for assessing code reviews. The first approach involves converting both the generated review and its reference into digital vectors using a deep learning model and then measuring their semantic similarity through Cosine similarity. The second approach generates a prompt based on the generated review and its reference, submits this prompt to ChatGPT, and requests ChatGPT to rate the generated review according to explicitly defined criteria. Our evaluation on the GradedReviews benchmark indicates that the proposed semantic-based approaches significantly outperform existing state-of-the-art metrics in assessing generated code review, improving the correlation coefficient between the resulting scores and human scores from 0.22 to 0.47. © 2025, CC BY.

The number of vulnerabilities reported in open source software has increased substantially in recent years. Security patches provide the necessary measures to protect software from attacks and vulnerabilities. In practice, it is difficult to identify whether patches have been integrated into software, especially if we only have binary files. Therefore, the ability to test whether a patch is applied to the target binary, a.k.a. patch presence test, is crucial for practitioners. However, it is challenging to obtain accurate semantic information from patches, which could lead to incorrect results. In this paper, we propose a new patch presence test framework named Ppt4j (Patch Presence Test forJava Binaries). Ppt4j is designed for open-source Java libraries. It takes Java binaries (i.e. bytecode files) as input, extracts semantic information from patches, and uses feature-based techniques to identify patch lines in the binaries. To evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed approach Ppt4j, we construct a dataset with binaries that include 110 vulnerabilities. The results show that Ppt4j achieves an F1 score of 98.5% with reasonable efficiency, improving the baseline by 14.2%. Furthermore, we conduct an in-the-wild evaluation of Ppt4j on JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA. The results suggest that a third-party library included in the software is not patched for two CVEs, and we have reported this potential security problem to the vendor. © 2024 ACM.
