AI code review
The Metabob advantage
Metabob uses a combination of graph-attention neural networks (GNNs) and generative AI to improve software performance and security.
With this, Metabob can detect problems that aren't detected by traditional, rules-based, static code analysis tools such as SonarQube. The detected problems range from race conditions and memory leaks to unhandled edge cases.
GNNs and BERTopic
Metabob is an ensemble AI system for classifying, identifying and explaining non-deterministic faults within source code. BERTopic based topic modeling is used to build seed data sets. For doing so, the underlying reasons behind particular classes of code changes are collected, extracted from the surrounding documentation behind each code change.
This allows to conduct supervised training of a classifier using an extended version of the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). This is parsed from the source code and used as the input vectors to a GNN. The fault class, as determined by BERTopic, is used as the output class per node in the GNN.
Generative AI
Metabob then generates explanations and code suggestions for fixes via a language model. These are built on a context vector from the topic labels, the source code, and portions of the online documentation, docstrings, headers, and other non-local information (readme’s, etc.). This results in simple explanations of the underlying issue behind a particular code change.
