Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Reverse engineering legacy software systems often involves the employment of clustering algorithms that automatically decompose a software system into subsystems. The decompositions created by existing software clustering algorithms are often nested, i.e. subsystems may contain other finer-grained subsystems as well as system resources, such as source files. It is rather surprising then, that almost all existing methods for decomposition comparison assume flat decompositions, i.e. subsystems only contain system resources. In this paper, we introduce UpMoJo, a novel comparison method for software decompositions that can be applied to both nested and flat decompositions. The benefits of utilizing this method are presented in both analytical and experimental fashion. We also compare UpMoJo to the END framework, the only other existing method for nested decomposition comparison.

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.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
