# LineVul Dataset Splits

This dataset provides the train, validation, and test splits of the LineVul dataset, originally introduced in the paper "LineVul: A Transformer-based Line-Level Vulnerability Prediction" by Michael Fu and Chakkrit Tantithamthavorn. The dataset is designed for predicting software vulnerabilities at the line level in C/C++ code using transformer-based models. It was sourced from the LineVul replication package available at [https://github.com/awsm-research/LineVul](https://github.com/awsm-research/LineVul).

## Dataset Description

The LineVul dataset consists of C/C++ functions with associated vulnerability labels and fixed versions. Each split (train, validation, test) contains 39 columns, but the key columns used for vulnerability prediction are:

- **processed_func** (string): The original function written in C/C++.
- **target** (int): A binary label indicating whether the function is vulnerable (1) or not (0).
- **vul_func_with_fix** (string): The fixed version of the function, with added and deleted lines labeled.

The dataset is intended for training and evaluating models that predict vulnerabilities in software code, particularly at the line level.
