Labelling Bug-Fixing Commits with Local Open-Weight Language Models

Defect prediction depends on knowing which commits fix bugs, yet the labels that encode this are produced by routes that each introduce noise. Reused benchmarks carry documented data-quality problems, issue-tracker links are biased and the underlying reports are frequently mistyped, and matching keywords in commit messages is a coarse heuristic. This paper examines whether commits can be labelled as bug fixes from their content alone, using open-weight language models that run locally and therefore keep the process reproducible, inexpensive at corpus scale, usable on proprietary code, and independent of any issue tracker. Against datasets of manually validated and curated bug fixes spanning Java, Python, and JavaScript, we compare a keyword baseline with a set of open-weight models of varying size, prompting each with the commit message and the code diff. On the manually validated corpus the keyword baseline recovers fewer than half of the fixes, whereas the open-weight models recover the large majority and outperform it repository by repository with statistical significance, and larger models do not consistently outperform smaller ones. We further show that evaluation corpora without negative examples cannot support a precision-aware comparison of such classifiers. We release the labelling pipeline together with a labelled, multi-language corpus produced by the recommended configuration, as a reproducible silver-standard resource for building current, project-specific datasets.

Object detection in adverse weather conditions for autonomous vehicles using Instruct Pix2Pix

Enhancing the robustness of object detection systems under adverse weather conditions is crucial for the advancement of autonomous driving technology. This study presents a novel approach leveraging the diffusion model Instruct Pix2Pix to develop prompting methodologies that generate realistic datasets with weather-based augmentations aiming to mitigate the impact of adverse weather on the perception capabilities of state-of-the-art object detection models, including Faster R-CNN and YOLOv10. Experiments were conducted in two environments, in the CARLA simulator where an initial evaluation of the proposed data augmentation was provided, and then on the real-world image data sets BDD100K and ACDC demonstrating the effectiveness of the approach in real environments. The key contributions of this work are twofold: (1) identifying and quantifying the performance gap in object detection models under challenging weather conditions, and (2) demonstrating how tailored data augmentation strategies can significantly enhance the robustness of these models. This research establishes a solid foundation for improving the reliability of perception systems in demanding environmental scenarios, and provides a pathway for future advancements in autonomous driving.

Long Short-Term Memory to predict 3D Amino acids Positions in GPCR Molecular Dynamics

G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are a big family of eukaryotic cell transmembrane proteins, responsible for numerous biological processes. From a practical viewpoint around 34\% of the drugs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration target these receptors. They can be analyzed from their simulated molecular dynamics, including the prediction of their behavior in the presence of drugs. In this paper, the capability of Long Short-Term Memory Networks (LSTMs) are evaluated to learn and predict the molecular dynamic trajectories of a receptor. Several models were trained with the 3D position of the amino acids of the receptor considering different transformations on the position of the amino acid, such as their centers of mass, the geometric centers and the position of the $α$--carbon for each amino acid. The error of the prediction of the position was evaluated by the mean average error (MAE) and root-mean-square deviation (RMSD). The LSTM models show a robust performance, with results comparable to the state-of-the-art in non-dynamic 3D predictions. The best MAE and RMSD values were found for the mass center of the amino acids with 0.078 Å and 0.156 Å respectively. This work shows the potential of LSTM to predict the molecular dynamics of GPRCs.
