Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The software clustering literature contains many different approaches that attempt to automatically decompose software systems. These approaches commonly utilize criteria or measures based on principles such as high cohesion and low coupling, information hiding etc. We present an algorithm that subscribes to a philosophy targeted towards program comprehension and based on subsystem patterns. We discuss the algorithm's implementation and describe experiments that demonstrate its usefulness.

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.
