  • Publication number: 20240119151
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, system, and computer program product detects a problematic source code. A computer system loads a source code into a first memory. The computer system loads a rendered source code into a second memory. The rendered source code is a rendered version of the source code. The computer system determines a difference between the source code in the first memory and the rendered source code in the second memory. The computer system determines whether a problematic source code is present within the source code using the difference. The computer system performs a set of actions with respect to the problematic source code in response to determining that the problematic source code is present in the source code. According to other illustrative embodiments, a computer system and a computer program product for detecting a problematic source code are provided.

  • Publication number: 20240104125
    Abstract: There are provided solutions for multiagent debate. In a method, a first and a second response representation are determined by a first and a second agent in a plurality of agents based on a first query representation for a query in a natural language, respectively, and the first and second response representations are convertible to a first and a second answer to the query in the natural language, respectively. A second query representation is obtained based on the first query representation, and at least one of the first and second response representations. A response representation is determined based on the second query representation by at least one of the first and second agents, and the response representation is convertible to an answer to the query in the natural language. These agents communicate in an embedding space without a conversion between a natural language format and an embedding format.

  • Publication number: 20240095348
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for detection of a homoglyph attack in code reviewed in an augmented reality display. A determination is made whether a line of code of source code includes a non-coding script character in a non-coding script that is a homoglyph of a coding script character in a coding script as indicated in a homoglyph pair. Valid statements in a computer language in which the source code is written are formed from characters in the coding script and not from characters in the non-coding script. In response to determining that the line of code includes the non-coding script character in the homoglyph pair, transmitting information on the homoglyph pair to cause the augmented reality display to render information on indication of the homoglyph.
