BigCode.Classify - a Visual Studio Code extension for Algorithm Classification using flattened AST.

The Neural Networks supported are currently Gated Graph Neural Networks and Tree-Based Convolutional Neural Networks.

Screencast

Installation

Before using the extension, you need to save the following file to an executable bash script fast to a folder on the search path. The fast command can pull the docker image of fast if it has not been installed, then pass on the arguments to be processed by the docker image.

#!/bin/bash
docker pull yijun/fast
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/e yijun/fast $@

Usage

  1. Open a C++ or Java program in the editor;

  2. Press ⌘ + ⇧ + P, which will open a "Configuration" window that lists the pre-trained models of neural networks;

INFO. You can also list these models using the following command in the terminal:

fast model

INFO. You can also assign a key binding to this command by Code > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts or by adding the following to your keybindings.json file:

[
    {
        "key": "ctrl+b ctrl+c",
        "command": "BigCode.Classify"
    }
]
  1. Select a pre-trained model from the "Model:" drop-down list in the "Configuration" window, which will generate an HTML file to be opened in a WebView window as a tab next to the code editor. After the selection, try not to move your mouse away so it will open the HTML page after a few seconds.

INFO. The colors of the tokens are assigned according to the attention score of the token for the neural network to predict the classification. The closer it is on the spectrum to Red, the more important (red score = 1); the closer it is on the spectrum to the background color (e.g., white), the less important it is (white score = 0). For your information, this spectrum is called Hue-Saturation-Brightness in the HSB color scheme. The token colors follow the hue, saturation, and brightness (HSB) spectrum, with full saturation=1 and brightness=1. The hue is a color analogous to the hotness, where background = 0 to red = 1, and any color in-between is determined by the attention score.

INFO. The title of the WebView tab is named after the source code file, annotated with a number indicating which model was selected to generate the attention scores.

INFO. At the end of the webview, you can see the classification results, i.e., the probabilities of the current program belong to each class. According to our Dataset 1 of 10 sorting problems, collected from Github, the meaning of a class is the following:

0 insertion-sort
1 merge-sort
2 topological-sort
3 heap-sort
4 bubble-sort
5 radix-sort
6 shell-sort
7 quick-sort
8 selection-sort
9 bucket-sort

A PNG image file generated highlights the predicted label in blue if it is correct, or red if it is wrong, amongst the probability distribution (10 bars).

  1. Select another pre-trained model from the "Configuration" window, another tab will be shown after a few seconds, which highlights different tokens in the code due to the change of the attention scores.

  2. You can rearrange the tabs to compare and contrast the effect of the visualizations.

Datasets

Dataset 1: 10 sorting problems, collected from Github [Bui et al. SANER'19, NL4SE@AAAI'18], which are insertion-sort, merge-sort, topological-sort, heap-sort, bubble-sort, radix-sort, shell-sort, quick-sort, selection-sort, bucket-sort.

Dataset 2: 104 programming tasks at Peking University [Mou et al. AAAI'16], which comprises of 52000 cpp files from the paper Convolutional Neural Networks over Tree Structures for Programming Language Processing, AAAI 2015.
