BugsInDLLs : A Database of Reproducible Bugs in Deep Learning Libraries to Enable Systematic Evaluation of Testing Techniques

AI-enabled applications are prolific today. Deep Learning (DL) libraries, such as PyTorch and Tensorflow, provide the building blocks for the AI components of these applications. As any piece of software, these libraries can be buggy. An impressive number of bug-finding techniques to address this problem have been proposed, but the lack of a curated set of reproducible bugs in DL libraries hinders credible evaluation of these techniques. We present BugsInDLLs, a database of curated reproducible bugs to fill that gap. Unique challenges exist in this context, such as installing drivers of specific CUDA versions to reproduce certain GPU-related bugs. Our dataset currently consists of 112 environments to reproduce bugs across three popular DL libraries, namely, JAX, Tensorflow, and PyTorch.
