Code verification and attribution using semantic analysis

A system for attributing source code, comprising:

• a processor device;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor device, cause the system to:
• ingest source code from a plurality of repositories;
• normalize the ingested source code using abstract syntax trees (ASTs);
• convert the normalized source code into vector embeddings that represent syntactic and semantic features of the source code;
• generate unique fingerprints from the vector embeddings;
• compare the fingerprints against a vector database to identify potential matches and verify code attribution;
• and
• generate feedback and alternative code suggestions based on the comparing the fingerprints.

A computer program product for attributing source code, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a hardware processor to:

• ingest source code from a plurality of repositories;
• normalize the ingested source code using abstract syntax trees (ASTs);
• convert the normalized source code into vector embeddings that represent syntactic and semantic features of the source code;
• generate unique fingerprints from the vector embeddings;
• compare the fingerprints against a vector database to identify potential matches and verify code attribution;
• and
• generate feedback and alternative code suggestions based on the comparing the fingerprints.

A method for enhancing source code verification, comprising:

• ingesting source code from multiple sources;
• normalizing the ingested source code by employing abstract syntax trees (ASTs) to adjust syntactic formats;
• transforming the ingested source code into vector embeddings capable of depicting syntactic and semantic characteristics;
• generating unique code identifiers from the vector embeddings;
• comparing the code identifiers within a vector database to ascertain potential source similarities and verify originality of the source code;
• and
• enhancing code integrity by generating corrective code modifications based on results of the comparing the code identifiers.
