Decoupling Code Complexity from Newcomer Participation: A Causal Study of AI Coding Agent Adoption in OSS
Weiwei Xu, Xuanning Cui, Hengzhi Ye +1
Open-source projects depend on a steady inflow of newcomers. A growing concern is that AI coding agents (tools such as Cursor and Claude Code that write code from natural-language…
A governance horizon for ethical-use constraints in open-weight AI models
Weiwei Xu, Hengzhi Ye, Haoran Ye +3
Ethical constraints on open-weight AI models are both a reflection of societal concerns and a foundation for AI governance policy. They are expected to propagate to downstream deri…
Characterizing Readability Issue Patterns and the Role of Prompt Design in LLM-Generated Code
Hengzhi Ye, Fengyuan Ran, Weiwei Xu +1
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly changing how code is produced, but generated code still requires human review and validation before it can be adapted or integrated in…
From OSS to Open Source AI: an Exploratory Study of Collaborative Development Paradigm Divergence
Hengzhi Ye, Minghui Zhou
AI development is embracing open-source paradigm, but the fundamental distinction between AI models and traditional software artifacts may lead to a divergent open-source developme…
Predicting Abandonment of Open Source Software Projects with An Integrated Feature Framework
Yiming Xu, Runzhi He, Hengzhi Ye +2
Open Source Software (OSS) is a cornerstone of contemporary software development, yet the increasing prevalence of OSS project abandonment threatens global software supply chains.…
Code Clone Detection via an AlphaFold-Inspired Framework
Changguo Jia, Yi Zhan, Tianqi Zhao +2
Code clone detection plays a critical role in software maintenance and vulnerability analysis. Substantial methods have been proposed to detect code clones. However, they struggle…
Small Changes, Big Trouble: Demystifying and Parsing License Variants for Incompatibility Detection in the PyPI Ecosystem
Weiwei Xu, Hengzhi Ye, Kai Gao +1
Open-source licenses establish the legal foundation for software reuse, yet license variants, including both modified standard licenses and custom-created alternatives, introduce s…
Characterising Open Source Co-opetition in Company-hosted Open Source Software Projects: The Cases of PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Transformers
Cailean Osborne, Farbod Daneshyan, Runzhi He +3
Companies, including market rivals, have long collaborated on the development of open source software (OSS), resulting in a tangle of co-operation and competition known as "open so…
Revealing the value of Repository Centrality in lifespan prediction of Open Source Software Projects
Runzhi He, Hengzhi Ye, Minghui Zhou
Background: Open Source Software is the building block of modern software. However, the prevalence of project deprecation in the open source world weakens the integrity of the down…
