TransClone: A Language Agnostic Code Clone Detector
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We introduce TransClone, a language-agnostic clone detection tool that leverages a source-to-source translator and an extended version of the graph matching network to detect clones. This tool accepts a source directory or directories as input and identifies code clones within it. It comes with a command line interface and reports identified clones in a CSV file format. Currently, it supports code written in Java and Python. However, TransClone's modular structure provides a flexible way to augment clone-detection support for multiple languages, as better code translators become available. Our experiment on the benchmark dataset shows that it can detect clones with high precision and recall. The TransClone tool including the datasets and trained model can be found here11https://github.com/subrotonpi/transclone.
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.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
