Vinod Ganapathy: HeapMD: Identifying Heap-based Bugs using Anomaly Detection

Erratum for HeapMD: Identifying Heap-based Bugs using Anomaly Detection

Trishul M. Chilimbi, Vinod Ganapathy.

There is a minor error in the Proceedings version of the paper, which has been corrected in the web version. In Section 3, just below Figure 6, we wrote:

INCORRECT

For a globally stable metric, we require the average change and the standard deviation of change to be within the above threshold for all inputs in the training set.

This is wrong. It must instead read:

CORRECT

For a globally stable metric, we require the average change and the standard deviation of change to be within the above threshold for at least 40% of the inputs in the training set.

Note that Section 4 of the paper (the paragraph below Figure 8) explains this point in further detail.
