Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In order to understand and improve software, we commonly examine and manipulate its architecture. For example, we may want to examine the architecture at different levels of abstraction or zoom-in on one portion of the system. We may discover that the extracted architecture has deviated from our mental model of the software and hence we may want to repair it. This paper identifies the commonality between these architectural transformation actions -- that is, by manipulating the architecture in order to understand, analyze, and modify the software structure, we are in fact performing graph transformations. We categorize useful architectural transformations and describe them within the framework of graph transformations. By describing them in a unified way, we gain a better understanding of the transformations and thus, can work towards modeling, specifying and automating them. Keywords: software architecture, graph transformation, reverse engineering, program understanding 1. Introduc...

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.
