Decode-Time Grammars: Constrained LLM Generation over a Refinement Order of Grammar Fragments

arXiv:2607. 18357v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models now write a growing share of the world's code, increasingly inside agents and serving systems that compile, execute, or dispatch generated code without line-by-line review.

GRID: Grammar-Railed Decoding for Enterprise SQL Generation

arXiv:2607. 11951v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models can write SQL, but enterprise deployment demands more than plausible text: outputs must be syntactically valid, must respect per-role and per-schema policy, must carry provable (not best-effort) guarantees, must not slow down as generations grow, and must leave a compliance-grade record of every decision.

Withholding the Completing Chunk: Exact Release-Boundary Equivalence for Production Streaming Guardrails

The paper presents a production streaming guardrail system that ensures exact release‑boundary equivalence for language‑model outputs. It compiles regular‑language predicates into persistent NFAs, distinguishes stable from provisional states, and applies document‑order priority to decide before each chunk release. Evaluations on over 200,000 partitioned cases show zero mismatches and demonstrate that incremental matching can outperform native regex at larger chunk sizes while remaining competitive at smaller ones.

From Statute to Control Flow: Span-Grounded Deontic Trees for Defeasible Scope Parsing

arXiv:2606. 08932v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Rule-following agents tasked with executing policies and regulations often fail via Silent Scope Omission (SSO): a model applies a general rule but silently drops nested exceptions or counter-exceptions, producing outputs that appear compliant yet break on important edge cases.

Robustness of LLM-Generated SystemVerilog Assertions to Semantics-Preserving RTL Transformations

The paper evaluates how robust large language models are at generating SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) when the underlying RTL code undergoes semantics‑preserving transformations such as operand reordering, identifier renaming, and redundant parenthesization. Using a curated dataset and two open‑source models (Qwen2.5‑Coder‑7B and DeepSeek‑Coder‑V2‑Lite), the authors find that 9.7%–27.0% of behaviors that were correct on the original RTL become incorrect after transformation, revealing significant instability that aggregate accuracy metrics can hide.

Natural-Language to SysMLv2 Translation via Conformance-Driven Iterative Refinement

The paper introduces a framework that translates natural‑language descriptions into SysMLv2 models using a generate‑check‑repair loop driven by a SysMLv2 conformance checker. By embedding the checker as an oracle, the system iteratively repairs generated models until they achieve zero conformance errors, ensuring they are deployable in industrial modeling environments. Evaluation on 151 prompts across four large language models shows the approach raises production‑conformance acceptance from 51.16% to 100%.

Weave of Formal Thought

arXiv:2606. 25987v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) attain remarkable surface fluency on code, yet they neither formally guarantee the syntactic validity of their output nor leverage the hierarchical structure defining the target language.

ReLoop: Structured Modeling and Behavioral Verification for Reliable LLM-Based Optimization

arXiv:2602. 15983v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can translate natural language into optimization code, but silent failures pose a critical risk: code that executes and returns solver-feasible solutions may encode semantically incorrect formulations---a feasibility--correctness gap reaching 90 percentage points on compositional problems.
