i'm at a loss of words after reading a paper about reformatting code using an ML model that has a measured statistical quantity A_c which says how often the reformatted code behaves the same as the original
the "ideal" (their choice of words) case is 64.2%

@whitequark is this satire? this sounds crazy

@lumi no it's published in the proceedings of IEEE/ACM https://upload.whitequark.org/1774306843-Duetcs_Code_Style_Transfer_through_Generation_and_Retrieval.pdf

@whitequark i can imagine a few cases where reformatting a code could change behavior (mostly related to language constructs that capture source locations) so I think I would be willing to accept as low as 99.99%

@whitequark i was more so asking if the paper was satire, but i guess looking at it answers my questions as well

@porglezomp you'll love Fig. 6

this isn't satire, this is real research published by IEEE/ACM

@porglezomp there's explanatory text that says the issue with the identifier "found" is that it's rarely used

@whitequark “surely it just means differing output structure to accommodate the formatting, right?”
No, it just produces code that won’t compile. In a refactoring tool.
(Haha, didn’t see the post a minute before mine with the exact same snip)

@whitequark Huh. Were they actually trying to make it work, or trying to show that it's a bad idea to try to use ML for that task?

@whitequark I really love “not changing endl to \n” listed as a style issue when that changes buffer flushing behavior.

@whitequark @porglezomp I'm spitting out my drink at j++ → j--. Holy shit.

@whitequark you know where there's a ready source of additional words? you surely will not regret sourcing additional words.

@whitequark not a paper *deliberately* about genetic algorithms, then?

@whitequark "Code style generally does not interfere
with the code semantics and executability"; but we present novel methods for it to do so!
