We investigate the problem of classifying a line of program as containing a vulnerability or not using machine learning. Such a line-level classification task calls for a program representation which goes beyond reasoning from the tokens present in the line. We seek a distributed representation in a latent feature space which can capture the control and data dependencies of tokens appearing on a line of program, while also ensuring lines of similar meaning have similar features. We present a neural architecture, Vulcan, that successfully demonstrates both these requirements. It extracts contextual information about tokens in a line and inputs them as Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) paths to a bi-directional LSTM with an attention mechanism. It concurrently represents the meanings of tokens in a line by recursively embedding the lines where they are most recently defined. In our experiments, Vulcan compares favorably with a state-of-the-art classifier, which requires significant preprocessing of programs, suggesting the utility of using deep learning to model program dependence information.

The problem of code generation from textual program descriptions has long been viewed as a grand challenge in software engineering. In recent years, many deep learning based approaches have been proposed, which can generate a sequence of code from a
sequence of textual program description. However, the existing approaches ignore the global relationships among API methods, which are important for understanding the usage of APIs. In this paper, we propose to model the dependencies among API methods as an API dependency graph (ADG) and incorporate the graph embedding into a sequence-to-sequence (Seq2Seq) model. In addition to the existing encoder-decoder structure, a new module named ``embedder is introduced. In this way, the decoder can utilize both global structural dependencies and textual program description to predict the target code. We conduct extensive code generation experiments on three public datasets and in two programming languages (Python and Java). Our proposed approach, called ADG-Seq2Seq, yields significant improvements over existing state-of-the-art methods and maintains its performance as the length of the target code increases. Extensive ablation tests show that the proposed ADG embedding is effective and outperforms the baselines.
We investigate the use of different syntactic dependency representations in a neural relation classification task and compare the CoNLL, Stanford Basic and Universal Dependencies schemes. We further compare with a syntax-agnostic approach and perform
an error analysis in order to gain a better understanding of the results.
Code retrieval is a common practice for programmers to reuse existing code snippets in the open-source repositories. Given a user query (i.e., a natural language description), code retrieval aims at searching the most relevant ones from a set of code
snippets. The main challenge of effective code retrieval lies in mitigating the semantic gap between natural language descriptions and code snippets. With the ever-increasing amount of available open-source code, recent studies resort to neural networks to learn the semantic matching relationships between the two sources. The statement-level dependency information, which highlights the dependency relations among the program statements during the execution, reflects the structural importance of one statement in the code, which is favor-able for accurately capturing the code semantics but has never been explored for the code retrieval task. In this paper, we propose CRaDLe, a novel approach forCodeRtrieval based on statement-levelsemanticDependencyLearning. Specifically, CRaDLe distills code representations through fusing both the dependency and semantic information at the statement level and then learns a unified vector representation for each code and description pair for modeling the matching relationship. Comprehensive experiments and analysis on real-world datasets show that the proposed approach can accurately retrieve code snippets for a given query and significantly outperform the state-of-the-art approaches on the task.
Jupyter notebook allows data scientists to write machine learning code together with its documentation in cells. In this paper, we propose a new task of code documentation generation (CDG) for computational notebooks. In contrast to the previous CDG
tasks which focus on generating documentation for single code snippets, in a computational notebook, one documentation in a markdown cell often corresponds to multiple code cells, and these code cells have an inherent structure. We proposed a new model (HAConvGNN) that uses a hierarchical attention mechanism to consider the relevant code cells and the relevant code tokens information when generating the documentation. Tested on a new corpus constructed from well-documented Kaggle notebooks, we show that our model outperforms other baseline models.
E2E web test suites are prone to test dependencies due to the heterogeneous multi-tiered nature of modern web apps, which makes it difficult for developers to create isolated program states for each test case. In this paper, we present the first appr
oach for detecting and validating test dependencies present in E2E web test suites. Our approach employs string analysis to extract an approximated set of dependencies from the test code. It then filters potential false dependencies through natural language processing of test names. Finally, it validates all dependencies, and uses a novel recovery algorithm to ensure no true dependencies are missed in the final test dependency graph. Our approach is implemented in a tool called TEDD and evaluated on the test suites of six open-source web apps. Our results show that TEDD can correctly detect and validate test dependencies up to 72% faster than the baseline with the original test ordering in which the graph contains all possible dependencies. The test dependency graphs produced by TEDD enable test execution parallelization, with a speed-up factor of up to 7x.
