Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Software developers who extend or repair existing software systems spend considerable effort in understanding how their modifications will require follow-on changes in order to work correctly. Tool support for this process is available for single, popular languages, but does not suffice for less popular languages, uncommon language variants, or arbitrary combinations of languages and connection technologies. We have created the DSketch tool so that developers can create a lightweight pattern specification for how dependencies can be heuristically identified in their systems. We performed two case studies involving industrial developers who applied our tool for conducting polylingual dependency analysis in software systems; the developers found it easy to configure the tool for their needs, were able to adapt their patterns to new contexts, and had sufficiently accurate dependency predictions for their work.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
