  • Patent number: 11989116
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to testing software for operating an autonomous vehicle. For instance, a first simulation may be run. The simulation may be run using the software to control a simulated vehicle and at least one agent. During the running of the first simulation, whether a particular type of interaction between the simulated vehicle and the at least one agent has occurred may be determined. In response to this determination, a second simulation may be run using the log data by replacing the at least one agent with a model agent that simulates a road user capable of responding to actions performed by the simulated vehicle. The second simulation may be used to determine in order to determine whether the software is able to complete the second simulation without the particular type of interaction between a second simulated vehicle and the model agent occurring.

  • Patent number: 11977474
    Abstract: An automated program repair tool utilizes a neural transformer model with attention to predict the contents of a bug repair in the context of source code having a bug of an identified bug type. The neural transformer model is trained on a large unsupervised corpus of source code using a span-masking denoising optimization objective, and fine-tuned on a large supervised dataset of triplets containing a bug-type annotation, software bug, and repair. The bug-type annotation is derived from an interprocedural static code analyzer. A bug type edit centroid is computed for each bug type and used in the inference decoding phase to generate the bug repair.

  • Patent number: 11972281
    Abstract: A first intermediate representation of a first portion of a source code implementing an application and a second intermediate representation of a second portion of the source code is received by a processing device. The first intermediate representation and the second intermediate representation is merged, at run-time, into a merged intermediate representation, wherein the first intermediate representation includes a reference to a function in the second intermediate representation. An execution flow transfer instruction within the merged intermediate representation is identified based on a run-time value of a parameter of the application. The execution flow transfer instruction references the function. A set of executable instructions implementing the function is identified within the merged intermediate representation. The execution flow transfer instruction is replaced with a copy of the set of executable instructions implementing the function.

  • Patent number: 11934458
    Abstract: A binary code similarity detection system that compares a target binary code to a source code by comparing the target binary code to a comparing binary generated by compiling the source code. Rather than using a comparing binary generated using a random or fixed compiling configuration, the system identifies the compiling configuration of the target binary code and compares the target binary code to a comparing binary generated using the same compiling configuration as the target binary code. The compiling configuration of the target binary code may be identified by a neural network (e.g., a graph attention network trained on attributed function call graphs of binary codes with known compiling configurations). The target binary code and the comparing binary may be compared using a graph neural network (e.g., a graph triplet loss network) that compares attributed control flow graphs of the of the target binary code and the comparing binary.

  • Patent number: 11893365
    Abstract: Techniques for generating application interfaces based on semantic-level data are described herein. Application developers may semantically define an application flow. Based on the definition, a system may identify a template of a multipage navigable interface that is compatible with the flow. If multiple templates are compatible, then a template may be recommended or automatically selected based on the semantic information provided by the developer. The system may generate, based on the template and the semantic definition, a multipage navigable interface. The template may encapsulate some design and functional elements in a manner that is independent of the semantic definition.

  • Patent number: 11892934
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a process tree of a process are provided. An event log of the process is received. It is determined whether a base case applies to the event log and, in response to determining that the base case applies to the event log, one or more nodes are added to the process tree. In response to determining that the base case does not apply to the event log, the event log is split into sub-event logs and one or more nodes are added to the process tree. The steps of determining whether a base case applies and splitting the event log are repeatedly performed for each respective sub-event log using the respective sub-event log as the event log until it is determined that the base case applies to the event log. The process tree is output. The process may be a robotic process automation process.
