While designing a software system, minimizing coupling among program entities (such as
files, classes, methods) is always desirable. If a software entity is coupled with many other …

Reconstruction of existing clone code is limited to a single version of static analysis and
ignores the evolution of cloned code, resulting in a lack of effective methods for cloning code …

Code cloning is a recurrent operation in everyday software development. Whether it is a
good or bad practice is an ongoing debate among researchers and developers for the last …

In this digital era, the textual content has become a seemingly ubiquitous part of our life.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) empowers machines to comprehend the intricacies of …

Code clones are described as a part of the program which is completely or partially similar to
the other portions. In the earlier research the code clones have been detected using …

Many visual matching algorithms can be described in terms of the features and the inter-
feature distance or metric. The most commonly used metric is the sum of squared differences …

Software systems are often developed as a set of variants to meet diverse requirements.
Two common approaches to this are" clone-and-owning" and software product lines. Both …

Machine learning-based approaches have been widely used to address natural language
processing (NLP) problems. Considering the similarities between natural language text and …

Software clones are code fragments with similar or nearly similar functionality or structures.
These clones are introduced in a project either accidentally or deliberately during software …

Two similar code segments, or clones, form a clone pair within a software system. The
changes to the clones over time create a clone evolution history. Late propagation is a …
