Abstract

This paper summarizes the goals, organization and results of the first SOCO competitive evaluation campaign for systems that automatically detect the source code re-use phenomenon. The detection of source code re-use is an important research field for both software industry and academia fields. Accordingly, PAN@FIRE track, named SOurce COde Re-use (SOCO) focused on the detection of re-used source codes in C/C++ and Java programming languages. Participant systems were asked to annotate several source codes whether or not they represent cases of source code re-use. In total five teams submitted 17 runs. The training set consisted of annotations made by several experts, a feature which turns the SOCO 2014 collection in a useful data set for future evaluations and, at the same time, it establishes a standard evaluation framework for future research works on the posed shared task.

Detecting Source Code Re-Use with Ensemble Models
CERI '16: Proceedings of the 4th Spanish Conference on Information Retrieval

Source code re-use has been usually faced from a compiler perspective. Considering the source code as a piece of text, we are able to use natural language techniques for the detection of source code re-use. This paper describes the use of ensemble ...
Efficient clustering-based source code plagiarism detection using PIY

Vast amounts of information available online make plagiarism increasingly easy to commit, and this is particularly true of source code. The traditional approach of detecting copied work in a course setting is manual inspection. This is not only tedious ...
Towards the detection of cross-language source code reuse
NLDB'11: Proceedings of the 16th international conference on Natural language processing and information systems

Internet has made available huge amounts of information, also source code. Source code repositories and, in general, programming related websites, facilitate its reuse. In this work, we propose a simple approach to the detection of cross-language source ...
