Abstract:
Oscar Goñi (Quique) has investigated source code similarity detection in Large Language Model (LLM) out-puts using the SCANOSS platform. While recent research has identified concerns regarding LLMs generating code that closely resembles their training data, the full extent of this similarity across the broader open-source ecosystem remained unexplored. Quique will describe during this talk his findings, which indicate that code similarity in LLM outputs may be more prevalent than previously indicated when evaluated against a broader open-source code base. At the same time, Quique will describe how this study contributes to the ongoing discussion of LLM-generated code’s originality and its implications for software licensing compliance, while validating the effectiveness of lightweight similarity detection algorithms as preliminary indicators for more comprehensive analysis. Finally, a Q&A session hopefully will provide participants some light of the implications of the study and to Quique about next steps in his research.
