title: Can LLMs Replace Manual Annotation of Software Engineering Artifacts?

description: Required Libraries 

The following libraries are required to run the scripts in this repository. You can install them using `pip`:

```bash pip install pandas numpy argparse json time random openai copy statistics krippendorff sklearn seaborn matplotlib together anthropic google-generativeai

Make sure to also install any other dependencies required by the specific model API if you plan on using models like GPT-4 or Claude:



openai

anthropic

together


All the experiments were done using python 3.10.11

For each dataset, we have a folder that contains process.py, heatmap.py, ira_sample.py. The folder also contains the relevant datasets and plots.

File Description:



data_result: This folder contains the file with the dataset and few-shot samples. After running process.py, all the results will be accumuted to data_result folder. Note that this folder is already containing all the data and model generated results in .jsonl fomat files. You do not need to run process.py to generate the results. 

Plots: This folder is containing the generated plots which can be generated by running heatmap.py and ira_sample.py.

process.py: This file will generate the results/annotations from the model based on the given parameters. We have shared the necessary command to run this file at the bottom. Note that you need API keys from different organizations to run the script. However, we have shared all the model generated results on data_result folder. 

heatmap.py: Running this file will generate the heatmap that we presented from Figure 1-5 in the paper. The generated plots will be stored in "Plots" folder. 

ira_sample.py: Running this file will generate the plots that we presented from Figure 7-10 in the paper. The generated plots will be stored in "Plots" folder.
