Compile by Training: Turning Natural-Language Specifications into Local Neural Functions

The paper introduces "compile by training," a method that converts natural-language specifications into reusable neural functions. By generating task-specific examples with teacher models at compile time, a small adapter is trained for a compact interpreter, eliminating the need for remote model calls during execution. The approach achieves 83.6% semantic accuracy on FuzzyBench-Hard, though it incurs a higher compile-time cost of about a minute, and is demonstrated in applications such as a multi-site website helper, a language-controlled 3D avatar, and a bidirectional English‑Claudish translator.

Program-as-Weights: A Programming Paradigm for Fuzzy Functions

arXiv:2607. 02512v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many everyday programming tasks resist clean rule-based implementation, such as alerting on important log lines, repairing malformed JSON, or ranking search results by intent, and are increasingly outsourced to large language model APIs at the cost of locality, reproducibility, and price.

Explaining Attention with Program Synthesis

A longstanding goal of research on interpretable deep learning is to replace opaque neural computations with human-meaningful symbolic descriptions. In this paper, we propose an approach for approximating the behavior of components of deep networks with executable programs.

Beyond Code Pairs: Dialogue-Based Data Generation for LLM Code Translation

arXiv:2512. 03086v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in code translation, yet their performance deteriorates in low-resource programming domains such as Fortran and emerging frameworks like CUDA, where high-quality parallel data are scarce.

Selective Left-Shift: Turning Test-Time Compute and Difficulty-based Curation into Training Data for Low-Resource Code Generation

arXiv:2607. 07748v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models achieve strong code generation for high resource languages like Python and Java but suffer sharp performance drops on Low-Resource Programming Languages~(LRPLs) such as Julia.
