HyperFL: Query-Adaptive Representation Learning for Software Fault Localization
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.02967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Software fault localization identifies the code locations responsible for reported issues and is a fundamental step toward automated debugging and program repair. Recent retrieval-based approaches formulate fault localization as a dense retrieval task by learning a shared embedding space between issue reports and source code. However, these methods encode all issue reports using a fixed query representation, despite the substantial diversity of real-world issue reports in length, structure, and debugging information. To address this limitation,
