  • data: This folder is used to save the training data and validation data
    • CURE uses the source code training data shared by previous work CoCoNuT
• src: This folder includes the source code for CURE's APR model

• Python 3.8
• PyTorch 1.4.0
• NumPy 1.18.1
• Huggingface transformers 2.10.0
• subword-nmt

To train a GPT-CoNuT model, run src/trainer/gpt_conut_trainer.py Some settings you may need to change:

• vocab_file: the path to the vocabulary file used by the model
• train_file: the path to the training data
• valid_file: the path to the validation data
• gpt_file: the path to the saved GPT PL model
• hyper_parameter: the hyper-parameter of the model (including the number of encoder/decoder layers, dropout rate, etc.)
• save_dir: the directory to save the model, default: data/models/

To train a GPT-FConv model, run src/trainer/gpt_fconv_trainer.py Some settings you may need to change:

• vocab_file: the path to the vocabulary file used by the model
• train_file: the path to the training data
• valid_file: the path to the validation data
• gpt_file: the path to the saved GPT PL model
• hyper_parameter: the hyper-parameter of the model (including the number of encoder/decoder layers, dropout rate, etc.)
• save_dir: the directory to save the model, default: data/models/

To prepare input for new test data, check data/data/prepare_testing_data.py, make sure you check the readme file and follow the three steps to prepare the test input.

To generate patches, run src/tester/generator.py Some settings you may need to change:

• vocab_file: the path to the vocabulary file used by the model
• input_file: the input data to the model for generating patches, with each line referring to a bug in the following format: buggy line <CTX> surrounding function. see candidate_patches/QuixBugs/quixbugs_bpe.txt for reference.
• identifier_txt_file: the valid identifiers for each bug, with each line being a list of valid identifiers, identifiers are split by space. see candidate_patches/QuixBugs/identifier.txt for reference
• identifier_token_file: the tokenized identifiers for each bug, with each line being a list of valid identifiers tokenized by camel letter, underscore, and subword. identifiers are split by \t. see candidate_patches/QuixBugs/identifier.tokens for reference
• output_file: the path to the output result
• beam_size: the number of candidate patches generated by each model
• model_file: the path to the saved APR model
• CURE's trained models: https://zenodo.org/record/7030145#.YwvXfFvMI5l

data/patches/gpt_conut_1.txt and data/patches/gpt_fconv_1.txt are example candidate patches generated by GPT-CoNuT and GPT-FConv models for QuixBugs benchmark.

To validate the candidate patches generated by models, run src/validation/rerank.py, which will rerank the patches generated by all the models and the result will be dumped into data/patches/reranked_patches.json, then run src/validation/validate_quixbugs.py or src/validation/validate_defects4j.py, which will run unit test cases (offered by Defects4J or QuixBugs) to validate the candidate patches. The final result will be dumped into data/patches/validated_patches.json
