Stack Trace-Based Crash Deduplication with Transformer Adaptation

Stack Trace-Based Crash Deduplication with Transformer Adaptation introduces dedupT, a transformer‑based method that models entire stack traces instead of isolated frames. The approach first fine‑tunes a pretrained language model on stack traces and then trains a fully‑connected network to rank duplicate crashes. Experiments on four public datasets show dedupT improves Mean Reciprocal Rank by over 15% versus the best deep‑learning baseline and up to 10% over traditional methods, while also achieving higher ROC‑AUC for unique crash detection.
