An Empirical Study on Noisy Label Learning for Program Understanding
Abstract
Recently, deep learning models have been widely applied in program understanding tasks, and these models achieve state-of-the-art results on many benchmark datasets. A major challenge of deep learning for program understanding is that the effectiveness of these approaches depends on the quality of their datasets, and these datasets often contain noisy data samples. A typical kind of noise in program understanding datasets is label noise, which means that the target outputs for some inputs are incorrect.
