On Problems of Implicit Context Compression for Software Engineering Agents

LLM-based Software Engineering agents face a critical bottleneck: context length limitations cause failures on complex, long-horizon tasks. One promising solution is to encode context as continuous embeddings rather than discrete tokens, enabling denser information storage. We apply the recently proposed In-Context Autoencoder for this purpose. While the method performs well on single-shot common-knowledge and code-understanding tasks, our experiments demonstrate that it fails on multi-step agentic coding tasks. In this paper, we explore this phenomenon and discuss possible factors contributing to this failure.

Step Rejection Fine-Tuning: A Practical Distillation Recipe

Rejection Fine-Tuning (RFT) is a standard method for training LLM agents, where unsuccessful trajectories are discarded from the training set. In the context of SWE-bench tasks, this corresponds to filtering out runs where the submitted patch does not pass the tests. However, this approach discards unresolved trajectories, even though they form a large portion of all trajectories for hard tasks and even then may be partially correct. In this work, we propose Step Rejection Fine-Tuning (SRFT) - a practical way to leverage these unresolved trajectories. For this, we employ a critic LLM to assess the correctness of each step in a trajectory. Consequently, during training, we mask the loss for erroneous steps while retaining them in the context window. This way we ensure the model learns to recover from errors without reproducing them. Evaluation on SWE-bench Verified shows that while RFT improves the resolution rate by 2.4% by excluding unresolved trajectories, SRFT improves it by 3.7% by filtering them instead of discarding completely, reaching the total resolution rate of 32.2%.

Predicting Tags For Programming Tasks by Combining Textual And Source Code Data

Competitive programming remains a very popular activity that combines both software engineering and education. In order to prepare and to practice, contestants use extensive archives of problems from past contents available on various competitive programming platforms. One way to make this process more effective is to provide an automatic tag system for the tasks. Prior works do that by either using the tasks' problem statements or the code of their solutions. In this study, we investigate which information source is more valuable for tag prediction. To answer that question, we compare existing approaches of both types on the same dataset and with the same set of tags. Then, we propose a novel approach, which is an ensemble of the Gated Graph Neural Network model for analyzing solutions and the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers model for processing statements. Our experiments show that our approach outperforms previously proposed models by 0.175 of the PR-AUC metric.

Assessing Project-Level Fine-Tuning of ML4SE Models

Machine Learning for Software Engineering (ML4SE) is an actively growing research area that focuses on methods that help programmers in their work. In order to apply the developed methods in practice, they need to achieve reasonable quality in order to help rather than distract developers. While the development of new approaches to code representation and data collection improves the overall quality of the models, it does not take into account the information that we can get from the project at hand. In this work, we investigate how the model's quality can be improved if we target a specific project. We develop a framework to assess quality improvements that models can get after fine-tuning for the method name prediction task on a particular project. We evaluate three models of different complexity and compare their quality in three settings: trained on a large dataset of Java projects, further fine-tuned on the data from a particular project, and trained from scratch on this data. We show that per-project fine-tuning can greatly improve the models' quality as they capture the project's domain and naming conventions. We open-source the tool we used for data collection, as well as the code to run the experiments: https://zenodo.org/record/6040745.

Evaluating the Impact of Source Code Parsers on ML4SE Models

As researchers and practitioners apply Machine Learning to increasingly more software engineering problems, the approaches they use become more sophisticated. A lot of modern approaches utilize internal code structure in the form of an abstract syntax tree (AST) or its extensions: path-based representation, complex graph combining AST with additional edges. Even though the process of extracting ASTs from code can be done with different parsers, the impact of choosing a parser on the final model quality remains unstudied. Moreover, researchers often omit the exact details of extracting particular code representations. In this work, we evaluate two models, namely Code2Seq and TreeLSTM, in the method name prediction task backed by eight different parsers for the Java language. To unify the process of data preparation with different parsers, we develop SuperParser, a multi-language parser-agnostic library based on PathMiner. SuperParser facilitates the end-to-end creation of datasets suitable for training and evaluation of ML models that work with structural information from source code. Our results demonstrate that trees built by different parsers vary in their structure and content. We then analyze how this diversity affects the models' quality and show that the quality gap between the most and least suitable parsers for both models turns out to be significant. Finally, we discuss other features of the parsers that researchers and practitioners should take into account when selecting a parser along with the impact on the models' quality. The code of SuperParser is publicly available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6366591. We also publish Java-norm, the dataset we use to evaluate the models: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6366599.

Evaluation of Contrastive Learning with Various Code Representations for Code Clone Detection

Code clones are pairs of code snippets that implement similar functionality. Clone detection is a fundamental branch of automatic source code comprehension, having many applications in refactoring recommendation, plagiarism detection, and code summarization. A particularly interesting case of clone detection is the detection of semantic clones, i.e., code snippets that have the same functionality but significantly differ in implementation. A promising approach to detecting semantic clones is contrastive learning (CL), a machine learning paradigm popular in computer vision but not yet commonly adopted for code processing. Our work aims to evaluate the most popular CL algorithms combined with three source code representations on two tasks. The first task is code clone detection, which we evaluate on the POJ-104 dataset containing implementations of 104 algorithms. The second task is plagiarism detection. To evaluate the models on this task, we introduce CodeTransformator, a tool for transforming source code. We use it to create a dataset that mimics plagiarised code based on competitive programming solutions. We trained nine models for both tasks and compared them with six existing approaches, including traditional tools and modern pre-trained neural models. The results of our evaluation show that proposed models perform diversely in each task, however the performance of the graph-based models is generally above the others. Among CL algorithms, SimCLR and SwAV lead to better results, while Moco is the most robust approach. Our code and trained models are available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6360627, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5596345.

So Much in So Little: Creating Lightweight Embeddings of Python Libraries

In software engineering, different approaches and machine learning models leverage different types of data: source code, textual information, historical data. An important part of any project is its dependencies. The list of dependencies is relatively small but carries a lot of semantics with it, which can be used to compare projects or make judgements about them. In this paper, we focus on Python projects and their PyPi dependencies in the form of requirements.txt files. We compile a dataset of 7,132 Python projects and their dependencies, as well as use Git to pull their versions from previous years. Using this data, we build 32-dimensional embeddings of libraries by applying Singular Value Decomposition to the co-occurrence matrix of projects and libraries. We then cluster the embeddings and study their semantic relations. To showcase the usefulness of such lightweight library embeddings, we introduce a prototype tool for suggesting relevant libraries to a given project. The tool computes project embeddings and uses dependencies of projects with similar embeddings to form suggestions. To compare different library recommenders, we have created a benchmark based on the evolution of dependency sets in open-source projects. Approaches based on the created embeddings significantly outperform the baseline of showing the most popular libraries in a given year. We have also conducted a user study that showed that the suggestions differ in quality for different project domains and that even relevant suggestions might be not particularly useful. Finally, to facilitate potentially more useful recommendations, we extended the recommender system with an option to suggest rarer libraries.

Building Implicit Vector Representations of Individual Coding Style

With the goal of facilitating team collaboration, we propose a new approach to building vector representations of individual developers by capturing their individual contribution style, or coding style. Such representations can find use in the next generation of software development team collaboration tools, for example by enabling the tools to track knowledge transfer in teams. The key idea of our approach is to avoid using explicitly defined metrics of coding style and instead build the representations through training a model for authorship recognition and extracting the representations of individual developers from the trained model. By empirically evaluating the output of our approach, we find that implicitly built individual representations reflect some properties of team structure: developers who report learning from each other are represented closer to each other.

Sosed: a tool for finding similar software projects

In this paper, we present Sosed, a tool for discovering similar software projects. We use fastText to compute the embeddings of subtokens into a dense space for 120,000 GitHub repositories in 200 languages. Then, we cluster embeddings to identify groups of semantically similar sub-tokens that reflect topics in source code. We use a dataset of 9 million GitHub projects as a reference search base. To identify similar projects, we compare the distributions of clusters among their sub-tokens. The tool receives an arbitrary project as input, extracts sub-tokens in 16 most popular programming languages, computes cluster distribution, and finds projects with the closest distribution in the search base. We labeled subtoken clusters with short descriptions to enable Sosed to produce interpretable output. Sosed is available at https://github.com/JetBrains-Research/sosed/. The tool demo is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYLkztCGRt8. The multi-language extractor of sub-tokens is available separately at https://github.com/JetBrains-Research/buckwheat/.
