The paper introduces RobustTests, a framework that improves reinforcement learning for code generation by synthesizing test cases from faulty code and refining rewards with a dense, stepwise function. It uses validator agents and behavioral clustering to filter out invalid or redundant tests, and incorporates pass‑rate‑based rewards to counter hallucination noise. Experiments on CodeContests and LiveCodeBench show that fine‑tuning Qwen3‑32B with RobustTests yields a 3% absolute performance gain over baseline methods.

UNBIND is a code unlearning framework that selectively removes memorized code from large language models at inference time while keeping the model weights unchanged. It constructs separate directional steering for hidden states that correspond to target code, enabling high forgetting rates (97.3–99.1% reduction in target code reproduction) with minimal loss in programming utility. Across multiple baselines, corpora, and evaluation metrics—including F‑BLEU, HumanEval+, and MBPP+—UNBIND consistently achieves the best joint forgetting and utility scores, and it effectively eliminates long exact code spans in repeated extraction tests.
