METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MODIFYING PROGRAM CODE Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC G06F8/30 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to an automated method and a system for modifying program code using machine learning algorithms. Method is carried out using at least one processor and comprises steps of: obtaining data containing at least a block of source code; source code is converted into a program code graph, in which internal vertices are associated with programming language operators, and leaves with corresponding operands; performing the program code graph processing using the machine learning (ML) coding model, trained on the program code graphs, in the course of which a representation of the program code graph in the form of a matrix of hidden states is obtained; method includes processing a matrix of hidden states using a generative machine learning (ML) model, trained on matrices of hidden states of graphs of the unmodified program code, graphs of the modified code and their source codes, in the course of which a new program code graph is obtained, corresponding to the modified program code, which is equivalent to the original program code in terms of functions performed; the program code graph obtained at the previous step is converted into a block of modified source code, which is functionally equivalent to the initial block of the source code.

EFFECT: high rate of modifying program code owing to automation of the process.
