Enterprise AI Analysis: Towards a Measure of Algorithm Similarity

Research Analysis

Unlocking Algorithm Insights for Enterprise AI

Our latest research introduces EMOC, an Evaluation-Memory-Operations-Complexity framework designed to quantify algorithm similarity. By embedding algorithm implementations into a rich feature space, EMOC facilitates advanced tasks like clone detection, program synthesis, and benchmarking LLM-generated code diversity. This offers enterprises a robust method to analyze, compare, and optimize their algorithmic assets with unprecedented precision.

The Challenge of Algorithm Similarity

Determining if two algorithms for the same problem are 'meaningfully different' is a theoretically uncomputable problem. Empirically, it's complicated by various similarity notions, from functional equivalence to instruction-level identity. This complexity necessitates a pragmatic, consistent metric for real-world applications.

Equivalency Notions & Invariances

Different changes to an algorithm impact various levels of equivalency. For instance, renaming variables only breaks encoding equivalence, while functional equivalence remains intact. Understanding these invariances is crucial for designing a robust similarity metric.

EMOC Framework: From Code to Embeddings

The EMOC framework systematically transforms algorithm implementations into a comprehensive numeric vector. This process involves evaluating functional correctness, memory and runtime scaling behavior, and counting primitive operations, creating a feature space for similarity analysis.

PACD: A Curated Dataset for Algorithm Similarity

To validate EMOC, we compiled PACD (Python Algorithm Classification Dataset), comprising over 350 verified Python implementations across three problems: list sorting, primality testing, and list search. This dataset serves as a crucial benchmark for developing and testing algorithm similarity metrics.

LLM-Generated Code Diversity

EMOC proves highly effective in understanding the diversity of algorithms generated by Large Language Models. By analyzing the EMOC embedding, we can discern subtle differences that indicate true algorithmic novelty, enabling better fine-tuning and evaluation of generative AI for code.

Quantifying Novelty in Sorting Algorithms

Problem: Given two algorithms for the same problem, can we determine whether they are meaningfully different?

Solution: We demonstrate EMOC's utility in classifying human-written and LLM-generated sorting algorithms. By analyzing EMOC scores, we can detect potentially novel algorithms and quantify diversity in LLM outputs, offering insights beyond simple temperature scaling. The framework supports better understanding and guiding generative models for unique solutions.

Outcome: EMOC allows for a nuanced comparison of algorithms, supporting the discovery of novel approaches and robust evaluation of LLM performance in code generation.

  • Clustering of algorithm types based on EMOC features.
  • Detection of near-duplicate implementations.
  • Quantification of diversity in LLM-generated programs.
