Does ISO-Grounded NFR Specification Improve LLM Code Generation? A Comparison of Rich and Structured Interventions against a Natural-Language Baseline

arXiv:2608. 13742v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In LLM-based code generation, Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) are often specified as terse one-line phrases.

SWE-IF: Aligning Code Evaluation with Human Preference

arXiv:2510. 07315v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have catalyzed vibe coding, where users leverage LLMs to generate and iteratively refine code through natural language interactions until it passes their vibe check.

Can LLMs Write Correct TLA+ Specifications? Evaluating Natural-Language-to-TLA+ Generation

arXiv:2606. 05792v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: TLA+ has supported industrial verification at companies such as Amazon and Microsoft, yet writing correct TLA+ specifications from natural language still requires time and expertise, which limits adoption.

Prompt Design at Scale: How Format, Instruction Count, and Context Length Shape Instruction Adherence and Hallucination in Large Language Models

arXiv:2607. 19257v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Practitioners make three prompt-design decisions with almost no controlled evidence behind them: how to format instructions and context (markdown, plain text, prose, or tabular), how many simultaneous instructions a system prompt can carry before compliance degrades, and how much context a model can hold before recall and honesty degrade.

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.

Imag-Eval: a language-grounded framework for interpretable Text-to-Image instruction following evaluation

Imag‑Eval is a new language‑grounded benchmark for evaluating Text‑to‑Image models, focusing on how well they follow compositional natural‑language instructions. It disentangles prompt length from compositional difficulty by independently varying the number of instances and the combination of constraints (rules), providing 1,140 prompts and 8,842 rule combinations. The study shows that for structured skills, the difficulty is mainly driven by the number of grounded rules and their binding to instances rather than prompt length alone.
