Small Language Models vs. Domain-Adapted Models in Multimodal CWE Detection

This report synthesises findings from 13 peer-reviewed papers addressing the following research question: What is the accuracy difference between SLMs and domain-adapted models on a multimodal benchmark (e.g., combining code and natural language descriptions) for CWE detection, and how does this vary. Building models that can be rapidly adapted to novel tasks using only a handful of annotated examples is an open challenge for multimodal machine learning research. We introduce Flamingo, a family of Visual Language Models (VLM) with this ability. 11 claims were extracted from source literature; 9 were independently verified against retrieved documents. An automated multi-reviewer quality assessment produced a score of 7.7/10. This report is a machine-generated literature synthesis and does not constitute original research.

Research goal: What is the accuracy difference between SLMs and domain-adapted models on a multimodal benchmark (e.g., combining code and natural language descriptions) for CWE detection, and how does this vary with adversarial perturbations?
