Static Analysis of Shape in TensorFlow Programs

Authors: Sifis Lagouvardos, Julian Dolby, Neville Grech, Anastasios Antoniadis, and Yannis Smaragdakis

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 166, 34th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2020)


Abstract
Machine learning has been widely adopted in diverse science and engineering domains, aided by reusable libraries and quick development patterns. The TensorFlow library is probably the best-known representative of this trend and most users employ the Python API to its powerful back-end. TensorFlow programs are susceptible to several systematic errors, especially in the dynamic typing setting of Python. We present Pythia, a static analysis that tracks the shapes of tensors across Python library calls and warns of several possible mismatches. The key technical aspects are a close modeling of library semantics with respect to tensor shape, and an identification of violations and error-prone patterns. Pythia is powerful enough to statically detect (with 84.62% precision) 11 of the 14 shape-related TensorFlow bugs in the recent Zhang et al. empirical study - an independent slice of real-world bugs.

Deep Static Modeling of invokedynamic (Artifact)

Authors: George Fourtounis and Yannis Smaragdakis

Published in: DARTS, Volume 5, Issue 2, Special Issue of the 33rd European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2019)


Abstract
Java 7 introduced programmable dynamic linking in the form of the invokedynamic framework. Static analysis of code containing programmable dynamic linking has often been cited as a significant source of unsoundness in the analysis of Java programs. For example, Java lambdas, introduced in Java 8, are a very popular feature, which is, however, resistant to static analysis, since it mixes invokedynamic with dynamic code generation. These techniques invalidate static analysis assumptions: programmable linking breaks reasoning about method resolution while dynamically generated code is, by definition, not available statically. In this paper, we show that a static analysis can predictively model uses of invokedynamic while also cooperating with extra rules to handle the runtime code generation of lambdas. Our approach plugs into an existing static analysis and helps eliminate all unsoundness in the handling of lambdas (including associated features such as method references) and generic invokedynamic uses. We evaluate our technique on a benchmark suite of our own and on third-party benchmarks, uncovering all code previously unreachable due to unsoundness, highly efficiently.

Defensive Points-To Analysis: Effective Soundness via Laziness

Authors: Yannis Smaragdakis and George Kastrinis

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 109, 32nd European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2018)


Abstract
We present a defensive may-point-to analysis approach, which offers soundness even in the presence of arbitrary opaque code: all non-empty points-to sets computed are guaranteed to be over-approximations of the sets of values arising at run time. A key design tenet of the analysis is laziness: the analysis computes points-to relationships only for variables or objects that are guaranteed to never escape into opaque code. This means that the analysis misses some valid inferences, yet it also never wastes work to compute sets of values that are not "complete", i.e., that may be missing elements due to opaque code. Laziness enables great efficiency, allowing a highly precise points-to analysis (such as a 5-call-site-sensitive, flow-sensitive analysis). Despite its conservative nature, our analysis yields sound, actionable results for a large subset of the program code, achieving (under worst-case assumptions) 34-74% of the program coverage of an unsound state-of-the-art analysis for real-world programs.

Efficient Reflection String Analysis via Graph Coloring

Authors: Neville Grech, George Kastrinis, and Yannis Smaragdakis

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 109, 32nd European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2018)


Abstract
Static analyses for reflection and other dynamic language features have recently increased in number and advanced in sophistication. Most such analyses rely on a whole-program model of the flow of strings, through the stack and heap. We show that this global modeling of strings remains a major bottleneck of static analyses and propose a compact encoding, in order to battle unnecessary complexity. In our encoding, strings are maximally merged if they can never serve to differentiate class members in reflection operations. We formulate the problem as an instance of graph coloring and propose a fast polynomial-time algorithm that exploits the unique features of the setting (esp. large cliques, leading to hundreds of colors for realistic programs). The encoding is applied to two different frameworks for string-guided Java reflection analysis from past literature and leads to significant optimization (e.g., a ~2x reduction in the number of string-flow inferences), for a whole-program points-to analysis that uses strings.

Streams à la carte: Extensible Pipelines with Object Algebras (Artifact)

Authors: Aggelos Biboudis, Nick Palladinos, George Fourtounis, and Yannis Smaragdakis

Published in: DARTS, Volume 1, Issue 1, Special Issue of the 29th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2015)


Abstract
In Streams à la carte we address extensibility shortcomings in libraries for lazy-streaming queries with a new design. The architecture underlying this design borrows heavily from Oliveira and Cook's object algebra solution to the expression problem, extended with a design that exposes the push/pull character of the iteration, and an encoding of higher-kinded polymorphism. In this library we apply our design to Java and show that the addition of full extensibility is accompanied by high performance, matching or exceeding that of the original, highly-optimized Java streams library. In this artifact we present a fundamental set of sequential operators map, filter, reduce, count, take/limit and iterate. Additionally we present the behaviors that are discussed in the paper: push, pull, fused pull, logging, id (for blocking terminal operators), future (for non-blocking terminal operators).

Streams a la carte: Extensible Pipelines with Object Algebras

Authors: Aggelos Biboudis, Nick Palladinos, George Fourtounis, and Yannis Smaragdakis

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 37, 29th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2015)


Abstract
Streaming libraries have become ubiquitous in object-oriented languages, with recent offerings in Java, C#, and Scala. All such libraries, however, suffer in terms of extensibility: there is no way to change the semantics of a streaming pipeline (e.g., to fuse filter operators, to perform computations lazily, to log operations) without changes to the library code. Furthermore, in some languages it is not even possible to add new operators (e.g., a zip operator, in addition to the standard map, filter, etc.) without changing the library. We address such extensibility shortcomings with a new design for streaming libraries. The architecture underlying this design borrows heavily from Oliveira and Cook's object algebra solution to the expression problem, extended with a design that exposes the push/pull character of the iteration, and an encoding of higher-kinded polymorphism. We apply our design to Java and show that the addition of full extensibility is accompanied by high performance, matching or exceeding that of the original, highly-optimized Java streams library.

Pointer Analysis (Dagstuhl Seminar 13162)

Authors: Ondrej Lhotak, Yannis Smaragdakis, and Manu Sridharan

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 3, Issue 4 (2013)


Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 13162 ``Pointer Analysis''. The seminar had 27 attendees, including both pointer analysis experts and researchers developing clients in need of better pointer analysis. The seminar came at a key point in time, with pointer analysis techniques acquiring sophistication but still being just beyond the edge of wide practical deployment. The seminar participants presented recent research results, and identified key open problems and future directions for the field. This report presents abstracts of the participants' talks and summaries of the breakout sessions from the seminar.
