Query: XFL: eXtreme Function Labeling   Reverse engineers would benefit from identifiers like function names, but
these are usually unavailable in binaries. Training a machine learning model to
predict function names automatically is promising but fundamentally hard due to
the enormous number of classes. In this paper, we introduce eXtreme Function
Labeling (XFL), an extreme multi-label learning approach to selecting
appropriate labels for binary functions. XFL splits function names into tokens,
treating each as an informative label akin to the problem of tagging texts in
natural language. To capture the semantics of binary code, we introduce DEXTER,
a novel function embedding that combines static analysis-based features with
local context from the call graph and global context from the entire binary. We
demonstrate that XFL outperforms state-of-the-art approaches to function
labeling on a dataset of over 10,000 binaries from the Debian project,
achieving a precision of 82.5%. We also study combinations of XFL with
different published embeddings for binary functions and show that DEXTER
consistently improves over the state of the art in information gain. As a
result, we are able to show that binary function labeling is best phrased in
terms of multi-label learning, and that binary function embeddings benefit from
moving beyond just learning from syntax.
