Multi-stage Dynamic Selection for Cross-Project Defect Prediction
A new report from arXiv reveals that cross-project defect prediction (CPDP) involves building models using data from external projects, called training projects, to predict module-level defect density.
The study finds that CPDP is a complex problem that requires the consideration of multiple factors such as project characteristics, software metrics, and team attributes. The researchers propose a multi-stage dynamic selection approach that incorporates these factors to improve the accuracy of CPDP models.
The proposed approach involves four stages: stage 1 selects the most relevant projects based on their characteristics; stage 2 constructs a set of candidate models using data from the selected projects; stage 3 evaluates the performance of each candidate model and selects the top-performing ones; and stage 4 combines the selected models to generate a final prediction.
The study demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach through experiments on real-world datasets. The results show that the multi-stage dynamic selection approach outperforms traditional CPDP methods in terms of accuracy and robustness.
Wisdom of LLM Crowds: Aggregation and Contamination in Language Model Ensembles
A new study from arXiv explores the wisdom of crowds in language model ensembles, finding that aggregation can lead to improved performance but also contamination.
The researchers propose a novel approach that combines multiple language models through aggregation and uses a contamination metric to evaluate the quality of the ensemble. They demonstrate the effectiveness of their approach on a range of natural language processing tasks.
Can AI Agents Really Complete RTL-to-GDS? Lessons from Benchmarking Tool-Interactive EDA Workflows
A new report from arXiv investigates the capabilities of AI agents in completing RTL-to-GDS workflows, finding that current models are not yet ready for real-world use.
The researchers benchmarked several tool-interactive EDA workflows and found that while AI agents can perform well on specific tasks, they still require significant human oversight to ensure accuracy and reliability.
The Price of Hidden Curvature: An $\widetilde{\Omega} (d^{5/4} \sqrt{T})$ Lower Bound for Bandit Convex Optimization
A new study from arXiv establishes a lower bound on the minimax expected regret of stochastic bandit convex optimization, highlighting the importance of considering hidden curvature in these problems.
The researchers demonstrate that as the dimensionality d increases or the number of iterations T grows, the regret bound worsens exponentially, emphasizing the need for careful consideration of these factors in practice.
Label-Free Finite-Volume-Residual Training of Attention Graph Neural Networks for Coupled Thermo-Fluid Fields
A new report from arXiv proposes a novel approach to training attention graph neural networks (AGNNs) for coupled thermo-fluid fields, achieving label-free finite-volume-residual training.
The researchers demonstrate the effectiveness of their approach through experiments on real-world datasets, showing improved accuracy and robustness compared to traditional methods.
