HAM-Net datasets

This repository provides the processed code datasets used in the HAM-Net experiments for cross-project software defect prediction.

Each JSONL record represents either:

• one source-code function, for the original Devign dataset;
• one source-code file or Java class containing multiple functions.

For datasets organized by file or class, HAM-Net treats the file/class as a bag and its functions as instances, following the multiple-instance learning (MIL) setting. Each record includes a binary defect label, a project identifier, and the extracted function-level code and AST information.

Record format

A simplified MIL record looks like:

{
  "id": "stable-sample-id",
  "project": "pandas",
  "file_path": "pandas/core/example.py",
  "label": 1,
  "functions": [
    {
      "name": "example_function",
      "code": "def example_function(...): ...",
      "func_label": 1,
      "ast_nodes": ["DECLARATION", "PARAMETER", "CONTROL", "RETURN"],
      "ast_edges": [[0, 1], [0, 2], [2, 3]]
    }
  ]
}

func_label is present only when it can be derived from patch or line-level annotations. It is not available for PROMISE.

Published versions

The repository keeps the original JSONL filenames in every version. Select a version through the Hugging Face revision or Git tag:

Version	Revision	Description
v1	v1.0.0	Original published datasets, including the original source text and AST graphs.
v2.0.0	v2.0.0	Reconstructed PROMISE, Defactors, BugsInPy, and Big-Vul from normalized source. Comments/docstrings and non-literal blank lines are removed; Python docstring-only suites are replaced with synthetic pass so every v1 bag/function remains. Labels are frozen and AST graphs are regenerated. Devign is not included.
v2.0.1	v2.0.1	Reconstructed the same four datasets without synthetic code. Python docstring-only functions/classes are deleted; bags that become empty, or positive bags with no remaining positive function, are deleted. Remaining bag/function labels are frozen and AST graphs/caps are regenerated. Devign is not included.

For example:

hf download Scream9371/hamnet-datasets promise_java.jsonl --revision v2.0.0
hf download Scream9371/hamnet-datasets promise_java.jsonl --revision v2.0.1

Original data sources

The published JSONL files are derived from the following public datasets. Some original datasets provide labels for functions, classes, files, or code lines. During preprocessing, HAM-Net converts several of them into a common file/class-level MIL format. The table distinguishes the original annotation level from the released HAM-Net representation.

Dataset	Original source	Original annotations / content	HAM-Net representation
devign_c (v1 only)	Devign repository	Function-level vulnerability annotations from FFmpeg and QEMU C/C++ projects	Each C/C++ function is released as an individual sample with an AST graph and a binary label.
promise_java	PROMISE repository	Classic Java class-level defect metric datasets with a bug count/label	Each Java class forms one MIL bag. The bag is positive when bug > 0.
bigvul_c	MSR 2020 Big-Vul dataset	Large-scale C/C++ vulnerability records containing code changes and CVE-related metadata	Each C/C++ file forms one MIL bag. Functions overlapping buggy-side changed lines are marked as positive.
defactors_python	Defactors	Line-level defect annotations from multiple Python projects	Each Python file forms one MIL bag. Functions overlapping annotated defect lines receive func_label=1.
bugsinpy_python	BugsInPy	Reproducible defects, buggy/fixed commits, and patch information from Python projects	Each Python file forms one MIL bag. Bags are constructed from buggy files and same-project negative files.

Devign remains in its original function-level format, whereas PROMISE, Big-Vul, Defactors, and BugsInPy are converted into class-level or file-level bags for multiple-instance learning. The dataset sources provide the original labels or patch/line annotations; the exact sampling, parsing, AST normalization, and bag construction rules are described below.

Dataset summary

Percentages are computed from the final JSONL files. P50/P90/P99 are the numbers of functions per bag. mixed positive bags means positive bags containing both at least one func_label=1 function and at least one func_label=0 function. positive functions is computed only for datasets that retain function-level labels.

Dataset	Language / granularity	Bags or samples	Positive / negative	Functions per bag P50 / P90 / P99	Mixed positive bags	Positive functions
promise_java	Java class-level MIL bag	1,695 bags	647 / 1,048 (38.17% / 61.83%)	8 / 26 / 94.12	N/A: no function-level labels	N/A
defactors_python	Python file-level MIL bag	1,700 bags	873 / 827 (51.35% / 48.65%)	18 / 86 / 227.06	808 / 873 (92.55%)	3,190 / 58,028 (5.50%)
bugsinpy_python	Python file-level MIL bag	2,205 bags	520 / 1,685 (23.58% / 76.42%)	11 / 84 / 206.96	507 / 520 (97.50%)	1,075 / 63,726 (1.69%)
bigvul_c	C/C++ file-level MIL bag	1,700 bags	733 / 967 (43.12% / 56.88%)	16 / 64 / 279.01	733 / 733 (100.00%)	1,270 / 51,668 (2.46%)
devign_c (v1 only)	C/C++ function-level sample	27,318 samples	12,460 / 14,858 (45.61% / 54.39%)	N/A: function-level schema	N/A	N/A

promise_java uses bug > 0 as its class/bag label and therefore does not claim function-level defect localization ground truth. devign_c is retained in its original function-level schema and does not contain a functions bag list.

How the MIL bags are constructed

The following rules define the published MIL samples.

PROMISE

• Unit of sampling: one target Java class is one bag; methods and constructors in that class are the bag instances.
• Source candidates: scan the available project/version CSV records and resolve each class name to its corresponding Java source file. Records without a source file, unparsable source, or fewer than three parseable methods/constructors are removed.
• Projects: ant, camel, ivy, jedit, log4j, lucene, poi, velocity, and xalan.
• Label: label=1 when the source bug value is greater than zero; otherwise label=0.
• Function sampling: retain all parseable methods and constructors in the selected class. No positive/negative function sampling is performed.

Defactors

• Unit of sampling: one Python source file is one bag and every parseable function in that file is an instance.
• Projects: pandas, scikit-learn, localstack, django, poetry, core, airflow, lightning, spaCy, ansible, ray, celery, sentry, cpython, and transformers.
• Function and bag labels: a function is positive when its span overlaps an annotated defect line; a bag is positive when it contains at least one positive function.
• Negative bags: sample files from the same project whose functions do not overlap the annotated defect lines; prefer the same commit and same module when available, then use other commits from the same project, with duplicate project/commit/file records removed.
• Function sampling: discard bags with fewer than three parseable functions during the original candidate construction.

BugsInPy

• Unit of sampling: one Python file at a buggy commit is one bag; each parseable function in the file is an instance.
• Projects: pandas, keras, youtube-dl, scrapy, luigi, thefuck, matplotlib, black, ansible, fastapi, tornado, tqdm, spacy, sanic, httpie, cookiecutter, and PySnooper.
• Positive candidates: use the buggy-side files touched by each BugsInPy patch. A function is positive when its span overlaps a buggy-side patch line, and the bag is positive when at least one such function exists.
• Negative candidates: for each bug, sample one same-project Python file from the same buggy snapshot that is not among the patched files. Half of the negative sampling quota targets files in the same directory or top-level module when such candidates exist; remaining candidates are sampled from the other files.
• Function sampling: use seed 42, discard files with no parseable function, and retain the complete parseable function list in the published full-function version. Both releases also exclude bags that contain no function definition: older construction artifacts represented them as a single <file> placeholder, which is not a valid MIL instance.

Big-Vul

• Unit of sampling: one C/C++ file at the buggy snapshot is one bag; each parseable function is an instance.
• Projects: linux, ImageMagick, Android, tcpdump, FFmpeg, php-src, and radare2.
• Positive candidates: use the buggy-side files associated with the vulnerability patch. A function is positive when it overlaps a removed/changed buggy-side patch line; the file is a positive bag when at least one function is positive.
• Negative candidates: for each positive file, sample two unmodified same-project files from the same snapshot. Half of the negative quota targets the same directory or top-level module when possible; the remainder is sampled from other files. Sampling uses seed 42, with project and global output caps applied before writing the final set.
• Function sampling: discard files with fewer than three parseable functions and retain all remaining functions in the full-function version.

Devign (v1 only)

• Unit of sampling: one function is one labeled sample rather than a MIL bag.
• Projects: qemu and FFmpeg.

AST and version rules

• To make ASTs from Java, Python, C, and C++ comparable, language-specific node types are mapped to a shared set of structural roles, such as declarations, control-flow statements, calls, assignments, returns, and literals.
• This normalization preserves coarse syntactic structure while removing language-specific lexical details. Identifiers, punctuation, comments, and documentation text are not retained as structural AST nodes. The normalized graph contains parent-child structure, reverse edges, and self-loops.
• In v2.0.0 and v2.0.1, comments are removed with language-aware lexical scanning while string and character literals are retained. Function labels are derived before source normalization; no defect label is recomputed from normalized source positions.
• v2.0.0 replaces a Python function/class body consisting solely of a docstring with synthetic pass, retaining all v1 bags and functions.
• v2.0.1 instead deletes Python docstring-only functions and classes. It omits a bag if no functions remain, and omits a positive bag if no remaining function has its frozen positive func_label; all retained labels and function order are preserved.

Optional Training-time function caps

The published JSONL files contain the full function lists. HAM-Net training, however, uses an optional deterministic cap of at most 16 functions per bag to control GPU memory and runtime. The cap does not modify the released JSONL files. It is applied only by the training data loader.

For each bag, cap generation follows this procedure:

1. Discard only candidate functions whose source is empty or whose AST has no nodes; the remaining functions keep their original order and indices.
2. Score each valid function as log(1 + node_count) + 0.3 * log(1 + edge_count).
3. Rank candidates by score, then by node count, source start line, and original index as deterministic tie-breakers. Select the top 12 candidates first.
4. If more functions are available, select additional candidates by evenly covering the remaining ranked list until the bag contains at most 16 functions. Bags with 16 or fewer valid functions retain all valid functions.
5. Write the selected zero-based function indices and the policy metadata to the cap file under the stable bag identifier. Cap files are generated separately for each dataset revision and must be used only with the matching JSONL files.

At training time, the data loader reads the cap entry for each bag and replaces the full function list with the recorded indices before constructing the model input. The same label-agnostic procedure is therefore shared across datasets and models.

Files

• Both versions: promise_java.jsonl, defactors_python.jsonl, bugsinpy_python.jsonl, and bigvul_c.jsonl.
• v1 only: devign_c.jsonl.
• Each revision contains a caps/ directory. Its cap files are generated from the JSONL files in that same revision using the deterministic ast_topk_v1 policy. v1 has caps for all five datasets; v2.0.0 and v2.0.1 have caps for their four MIL datasets only.
• caps/caps_summary.json records the input bag count, cap-entry count, selected function count, and any bags omitted because they contain no valid function with both non-empty code and a non-empty AST. A cap file must only be used with the JSONL files from the same revision.
