Improved Labeling of Security Defects in Code Review by Active Learning with LLMs

Mining high-quality datasets of security defects is important for cybersecurity. In this paper, we focus on mining a dataset of reviews that discuss potential security defects in code or other artifacts. Mining such datasets often involves labeling, and this is challenging because security defects are rare.

Abstract

Mining high-quality datasets of security defects is important for cybersecurity. In this paper, we focus on mining a dataset of reviews that discuss potential security defects in code or other artifacts. Mining such datasets often involves labeling, and this is challenging because security defects are rare.
