Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Understanding a large software system can be made easier if the system is decomposed into smaller and more manageable clusters; software engineers can focus on analyzing only the subsystems needed to solve the maintenance task at hand. There exist several software clustering techniques, among which the most predominant ones are based on the analysis of the source code. However, due to the increasing complexity of software, we argue that this structural clustering is no longer sufficient. In this paper, we present a novel clustering approach based on dynamic analysis. The technique is based on measuring the similarity between the components of the system under study according to the number of software features they implement. A discussion on why software features can be a good candidate clustering criterion is presented. We also present a preliminary case study that supports the applicability of the proposed approach.

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.
