Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Many applications have one or more important modules that are written in a language other than conventional procedural or object oriented languages. These languages are often translated into some tabular or byte code representation which is executed by an interpreter. The interpreter is sometimes written in the same language as the rest of the application. Examples of such languages are yacc and Tcl. This paper investigates a technique for linking entities in the interpreted languages to their implementation in the interpreter. The technique is illustrated using the design recovery of a compiler that uses SISL, a grammar language similar to yacc. We present a model extracted from the compiler that links entities in SISL to the underlying implementation language and some example maintenance queries that might be posed for the system. Extracting the model requires recognizing idiomatic code in the interpreter. We then discuss how the technique might be extended to similar systems such as those implemented in Tcl.

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.
