WebAssembly has become the preferred smart contract format for various blockchain platforms due to its high portability and near-native execution speed. To effectively understand WebAssembly contracts, it is crucial to recover high-level type signatures because of the limited type information that WebAssembly provides. However, existing studies on type inference for smart contracts primarily center around Ethereum Virtual Machine bytecode, which is not applicable to WebAssembly owing to their differing targets and runtime semantics. This paper introduces WasmHint, a novel solution that leverages deep learning inference to automatically recover high-level parameter and return types from WebAssembly contracts. More specifically, WasmHint constructs a wCFG representation to clarify dependencies within WebAssembly code and simulates its execution to capture type-related operational information. By learning comprehensive code semantics, it infers parameter and return types, with a semantic corrector designed to enhance information coordination. We conduct experiments on a newly constructed dataset containing 77,208 WebAssembly contract functions. The results demonstrate that WasmHint achieves inference accuracies of 80.0% for parameter types and 95.8% for return types, with average improvements of 86.6% and 34.0% over the baseline methods, respectively.

Info for room Pirsenteret 150:

This room is located outside Clarion Hotel

This room is located in the Pirsenteret (The Pier Center) convention center. It is just outside the hotel, on the back, towards the fjord.

You should be able to go through the emergency exit at Clarion, just on the side of the Cosmos 3 wing, which will be bring you close to Pirsenteret.

The entrance to the center is from here:
