This paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature concerning the utilization of
Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, with a particular focus on transformer …

CONTEXT: Reusing software by means of copy and paste is a frequent activity in software
development. The duplicated code is known as a software clone and the activity is known as …

Programmers produce code clones when developing software. By copying and pasting code
with or without modification, developers reuse existing code to improve programming …

Every programmer has a characteristic style, ranging from preferences about identifier
naming to preferences about object relationships and design patterns. Coding conventions …

Over the last decade many techniques and tools for software clone detection have been
proposed. In this paper, we provide a qualitative comparison and evaluation of the current …

A code clone is a code portion in source files that is identical or similar to another. Since
code clones are believed to reduce the maintainability of software, several code clone …

Existing research suggests that a considerable fraction (5-10%) of the source code of large
scale computer programs is duplicate code (" clones"). Detection and removal of such …

Detecting code clones has many software engineering applications. Existing approaches
either do not scale to large code bases or are not robust against minor code modifications. In …

Code duplication or copying a code fragment and then reuse by pasting with or without any
modifications is a well known code smell in software maintenance. Several studies show …

Many techniques for detecting duplicated source code (software clones) have been
proposed in the past. However, it is not yet clear how these techniques compare in terms of …
