Smart Contracts are essential blockchain components, mainly written in Solidity. The high availability of public Solidity code leads to frequent reuse and high clone ratios. Since cloning can propagat…
The accelerating adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs) in software engineering (SE) has brought with it a silent crisis: unsustainable computational cost. While these models demonstrate remarkable …
Cyberbullying is a pervasive problem in online environments, causing substantial psychological harm to victims. Although bystander intervention has proven effective in mitigating its impact, motivatin…
Deep Learning (DL) is becoming more and more widespread in clone detection, motivated by achieving near-perfect performance for this task. In particular in case of semantic code clones, which share on…
At the scale of Uber's monorepos, traditional Git workflows become a fundamental bottleneck. Cloning multi-gigabyte repositories, maintaining local checkouts, periodically syncing from upstream, and e…
Software redesign preserves functionality while improving quality attributes, but manual reuse of code and tests is costly and error-prone, especially in crossrepository redesigns. Focusing on static …
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has elevated data to a cornerstone of modern software systems. As data projects become increasingly complex and dynamic, version control for data has b…
The rapid adoption of AI coding agents and AI assistant web services is fundamentally changing how developers discover, consume, and interact with technical documentation. This paper studies that tran…
Voice cloning is often evaluated in terms of overall quality, but less is known about accent preservation and its perceptual consequences. We compare standard and heavily accented Mandarin speech and …
Clone-and-own development produces families of related software variants that evolve independently. As variants diverge, important fixes applied in one repository are often missing in others. PaReco h…
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has become a prominent topic recently, with an increasing number of IIoT OSS projects emerging, also within the Eclipse Foundation. Code cloning is a common practi…
The quality of scientific code is a critical concern for the research community. Poorly written code can result in irreproducible results, incorrect findings, and slower scientific progress. In this s…
Agent skills are modular instruction packages that combine YAML metadata, natural language instructions, and embedded code, and they have reached 196K publicly available instances, yet no mechanism ex…
Prompt injection is listed as the number-one vulnerability class in the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications that can subvert LLM guardrails, disclose sensitive data, and trigger unauthorized tool use. D…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly adopted for vulnerability detection, yet their reasoning remains fundamentally unsound. We identify a root cause shared by both major mitigation paradigms…
Automated Code Review (ACR) systems integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly adopted in software development workflows, ranging from interactive assistants to autonomous agents in CI/…
LLM based agents are increasingly deployed in high stakes settings where they process external data sources such as emails, documents, and code repositories. This creates exposure to indirect prompt i…
Code clone detection (CCD) supports software maintenance, refactoring, and security analysis. Although pre-trained models capture code semantics, most work reduces CCD to binary classification, overlo…
Independent media are central to democratic decision-making, yet recent technological developments, such as social media, pseudonymous identities, and generative AI, have made them more vulnerable to …
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) with multimodal reasoning capabilities are high-value attack targets, given their potential for handling complex multimodal harmful tasks. Mainstream black-box jailbreak …
