A Survey of Machine Learning for Big Code and Naturalness (2017, background): “n copy code during development. This practice requires ﬁxups to rename variables and handle name collisions; it can also create code clones, similar code snippets in diﬀerent locations of a code base [107]. Allamanis and Brockschmidt [7] automate naming cleanups after copying;theyusestructuredpredic”

Comparison and evaluation of code clone detection techniques and tools: A qualitative approach (2009, background): “To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first study of the area, other than Koschke’s recent overview [70, 69, 73 ] and our own short conference paper [103], that provides a complete comparison of all available clone detection techniques.”
