PrimeVul CodeBERT Embeddings

Pre-extracted [CLS] token embeddings from microsoft/codebert-base for all functions in the PrimeVul v0.1 vulnerability detection dataset.

What is this?

Each .npz file contains frozen CodeBERT embeddings (768-dimensional vectors) for C/C++ functions, along with their labels and CWE type annotations. These embeddings were extracted once using a frozen CodeBERT model and are used for downstream PU (positive-unlabeled) learning experiments without requiring GPU access.

Files

File	Functions	Vulnerable	Shape
train.npz	175,797	4,862 (2.77%)	(175797, 768)
valid.npz	23,948	593 (2.48%)	(23948, 768)
test.npz	24,788	549 (2.21%)	(24788, 768)
test_paired.npz	870	435 (50%)	(870, 768)

Arrays in each .npz

embeddings: (N, 768) float32 -- CodeBERT [CLS] token vectors
labels: (N,) int32 -- 0 = benign, 1 = vulnerable
cwe_types: (N,) object -- CWE category string (e.g., "CWE-119") or "unknown"
idxs: (N,) int64 -- original PrimeVul record index for traceability

How to use

import numpy as np

data = np.load("train.npz", allow_pickle=True)
X = data["embeddings"]  # (175797, 768)
y = data["labels"]       # (175797,)
cwes = data["cwe_types"] # (175797,)
