Model Card for LocAgent
This model is described in the paper LocAgent: Graph-Guided LLM Agents for Code Localization. LocAgent uses a graph-based code representation to enable LLMs to perform accurate code localization, significantly improving accuracy compared to existing methods. Notably, the fine-tuned Qwen-2.5-Coder-Instruct-32B model achieves near state-of-the-art performance with a substantial cost reduction.

How to Use
LocAgent involves two main steps: graph indexing and code localization.
1. Graph Indexing (Optional but Recommended): For efficient batch processing, pre-generate graph indexes for your codebase using dependency_graph/batch_build_graph.py
. This script parses the codebase into a graph representation. See the Github README for detailed command-line arguments and setup instructions. Example:
python dependency_graph/batch_build_graph.py \
--dataset 'czlll/Loc-Bench' \
--split 'test' \
--num_processes 50 \
--download_repo
2. Code Localization: Use auto_search_main.py
to perform code localization. This script leverages LLMs to search and locate relevant code entities within the pre-generated graph indexes. See the Github README for detailed command-line arguments and environment variable setup. Example:
python auto_search_main.py \
--dataset 'czlll/SWE-bench_Lite' \
--split 'test' \
--model 'azure/gpt-4o' \
--localize \
--merge \
--output_folder $result_path/location \
--eval_n_limit 300 \
--num_processes 50 \
--use_function_calling \
--simple_desc
3. Evaluation: After localization, evaluate the results using evaluation.eval_metric.evaluate_results
. An example Jupyter Notebook is provided in evaluation/run_evaluation.ipynb
.
