arXiv:2605. 17965v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Bug localization remains a key bottleneck for large language model (LLM)-based software maintenance, where accurately identifying faulty code is essential for debugging, root cause analysis, triage, and automated program repair (APR).
arXiv:2608. 02967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Software fault localization identifies the code locations responsible for reported issues and is a fundamental step toward automated debugging and program repair.
arXiv:2606. 09956v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid adoption of LLM-powered code generation has dramatically accelerated software development, yet effective verification methods remain severely underdeveloped.
SpIDER is a dense retrieval method that combines LLM reasoning with graph-based exploration of codebases to locate relevant functions, classes, or files for user queries. It introduces a graph-structured benchmark, SpIDER-Bench, covering multiple programming languages and demonstrates significant recall improvements over traditional BM25 and dense approaches. The method’s graph-based candidate expansion provides auditable structural reasons for each retrieved item while keeping the retrieval budget fixed.
arXiv:2608. 04682v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coding agents powered by large language models (LLMs) are increasingly adopted in software engineering (SWE) scenarios, capable of fixing a specific bug in large-scale codebase.
arXiv:2607. 25873v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM)-based Automated Program Repair systems are advancing rapidly, yet their performance remains inconsistent.
arXiv:2609. 31176v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Repository-level issue localization aims to identify and rank the files and functions relevant to resolving a reported issue.
arXiv:2608. 14065v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Background: Software bugs remain a critical challenge in development, necessitating effective Automated Program Repair (APR) techniques.
arXiv:2507. 22580v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Automated Program Repair (APR) seeks to automatically correct software bugs without requiring human intervention.
arXiv:2505. 13353v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed for understanding large codebases, but whether they understand operational semantics of long code context or rely on pattern matching shortcuts remains unclear.
arXiv:2506. 11066v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Code retrieval is essential in modern software development, as it boosts code reuse and accelerates debugging.
arXiv:2609.01601v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The repository-level code generation task requires synthesizing code that satisfies task requirements while remaining consistent with the target repo...
