2023 IEEE/ACM 45th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) DUETCS: Code Style Transfer through Generation and Retrieval Binger Chen, Ziawasch Abedjan. The measure of success includes:
Computational accuracy (AC): the percentage of programs that can be compiled and produce the same output as the ground truth reference when given the same input.
which... uh.... ✧✦Catherine✦✧ @whitequark@treehouse.systems notes
i'm at a loss of words after reading a paper about reformatting code using an ML model that has a measured statistical quantity A_c which says how often the reformatted code behaves the same as the original
the "ideal" (their choice of words) case is 64.2%
Which... explains so much about modern software. Couple of interesting additional notes from the thread.
