Online code clones are code fragments that are copied from software projects or online
sources to Stack Overflow as examples. Due to an absence of a checking mechanism after …

Clone detection finds application in many software engineering activities such as
comprehension and refactoring. However, the confounding configuration choice problem …

Knowing code clones (similar code fragments) is helpful in software maintenance and re-
engineering. As clone detectors return huge numbers of clones, visualization techniques …

If two fragments of source code are identical or similar to each other, they are called code
clones. Code clones introduce difficulties in software maintenance and cause bug …

Understanding the functional (dis)-similarity of source code is significant for code modeling
tasks such as software vulnerability and code clone detection. We present DISCO (DIS …

Background Many researchers have investigated different techniques to automatically detect
duplicate code in programs exceeding thousand lines of code. These techniques have …

Pre-trained transformer models have recently shown promises for understanding the source
code. Most existing works expect to understand code from the textual features and limited …

Code clones are identical or similar code segments. The wide existence of code clones can
increase the cost of maintenance and jeopardise the quality of software. The research …

Reusing software by copying and pasting is a common practice in software development.
This phenomenon is widely known as code cloning. Problems with clones are mainly due to …

Code clones are frequent in use because they can be created fast with little effort and
expense. Especially for malware writers, it is easier to create a clone of the original than …
