To run all the experiments in our paper, the following parameters could be changed. For 1-7, change the path with your own username and directory.

1. source.file.path
2. output.dir
3. feature.file.path
4. model.file.path
5. pos.file.path
6. sim.file.path
7. clones.file.path
8. feature.num
9. feature.name
10. training.iteration
11. training.input.num
12. training.hidden.num (also need to modify the source file in CCLearner_Train)
13. testing.folder (users can reduce the number of testing folders to save time)

By using the default or modified configuration file, go to Run folder and execute the following commands

java -jar CCLearner_Feature.jar
java -jar CCLearner_Train.jar
java -jar CCLearner_Test.jar (may take some time)

To change datasets, more parameters or the source code, open CCLearner_Feature, CCLearner_Train, CCLearner_Test, rebuild and rerun the given project

Table "tools_clones" in PostgreSQL is used for data import. It is better to use pgAdmin to truncate table and import csv file into database.

1. Double click server's name to connect server and database
2. Right click "tools_clones" and click "truncate".
3. Right click "tools_clones" and click "import..." (Choose Filename; Format - "csv"; Encoding - "UTF8")

In pgAdmin, click SQL icon on the top menu, choose one query file from Recall_Query folder and execute the query.

The numbers of true clones with different types in BigCloneBench for testing are T1(2,383), T2(671), VST3(873), ST3(5,365), MT3(31,413), WT3/4(1,540,513).

Recall Rate = Query Result / corresponding number of true clones
