Challenging Machine Learning-Based Clone Detectors via Semantic-Preserving Code Transformations
Software clone detection identifies similar code snippets. It has been an active research topic that attracts extensive attention over the last two decades. In recent years, machine learning (ML) based detectors, especially deep learning-based ones, have demonstrated impressive capability on clone detection. It seems that this longstanding problem has already …
