SEED: Semantic Graph based Deep detection for type-4 clone

Type-4 clones refer to a pair of code snippets with similar semantics but written in different syntax, which challenges the existing code clone detection techniques. Previous studies, however, highly rely on syntactic structures and textual tokens, which cannot precisely represent the semantic information of code and might introduce non-negligible noise into the detection models. To overcome these limitations, we design a novel semantic graph-based deep detection approach, called SEED. For a pair of code snippets, SEED constructs a semantic graph of each code snippet based on intermediate representation to represent the code semantic more precisely compared to the representations based on lexical and syntactic analysis. To accommodate the characteristics of Type-4 clones, a semantic graph is constructed focusing on the operators and API calls instead of all tokens. Then, SEED generates the feature vectors by using the graph match network and performs clone detection based on the similarity among the vectors. Extensive experiments show that our approach significantly outperforms two baseline approaches over two public datasets and one customized dataset. Especially, SEED outperforms other baseline methods by an average of 25.2% in the form of F1-Score. Our experiments demonstrate that SEED can reach state-of-the-art and be useful for Type-4 clone detection in practice.

Measurements of differential and angle-integrated cross sections for the $^{10}$B($n, α$)$^{7}$Li reaction in the neutron energy range from 1.0 eV to 2.5 MeV

Differential and angle-integrated cross sections for the $^{10}$B($n, α$)$^{7}$Li, $^{10}$B($n, α$$_{0}$)$^{7}$Li and $^{10}$B($n, α$$_{1}$)$^{7}$Li$^{*}$ reactions have been measured at CSNS Back-n white neutron source. Two enriched (90%) $^{10}$B samples 5.0 cm in diameter and ~85.0 $μ$g/cm$^{2}$ in thickness each with an aluminum backing were prepared, and back-to-back mounted at the sample holder. The charged particles were detected using the silicon-detector array of the Light-charged Particle Detector Array (LPDA) system. The neutron energy E$_{n}$ was determined by TOF (time-of-flight) method, and the valid $α$ events were extracted from the E$_{n}$-Amplitude two-dimensional spectrum. With 15 silicon detectors, the differential cross sections of $α$-particles were measured from 19.2° to 160.8°. Fitted with the Legendre polynomial series, the ($n, α$) cross sections were obtained through integration. The absolute cross sections were normalized using the standard cross sections of the $^{10}$B($n, α$)$^{7}$Li reaction in the 0.3 - 0.5 MeV neutron energy region. The measurement neutron energy range for the $^{10}$B($n, α$)$^{7}$Li reaction is 1.0 eV $\le$ En < 2.5 MeV (67 energy points), and for the $^{10}$B($n, α$$_{0}$)$^{7}$Li and $^{10}$B($n, α$$_{1}$)$^{7}$Li$^{*}$ reactions is 1.0 eV $\le$ En < 1.0 MeV (59 energy points). The present results have been analyzed by the resonance reaction mechanism and the level structure of the $^{11}$B compound system, and compared with existing measurements and evaluations.
