ReMCTS: Reflection-Enhanced Monte Carlo Tree Search for Code Generation

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

ReMCTS is a Monte Carlo Tree Search–style framework that enhances code generation by large language models (LLMs). It organizes program candidates as tree states, retains branch‑local debugging context, and retrieves failure experience across branches, distinguishing failed checks from unavailable evidence. Experiments on HumanEval and MBPP‑Sanitized show that visible‑test ReMCTS improves performance over direct generation in 8 of 10 model‑dataset pairs, while a pilot on HumanEval‑X C++ demonstrates compatibility with compiler‑backed execution.

From Static to Dynamic: Benchmarking Real-World Code Review with MCR-Bench

The paper introduces MCR-Bench, a benchmark for realistic multi‑round code review that includes 2,269 real‑world tasks across five programming languages, each annotated with fine‑grained defect information and dynamic state labels. Experiments with mainstream large language models show limited overall performance, especially as interaction rounds increase, and reveal that model accuracy varies by defect type and severity. Error analysis identifies key failure mechanisms such as cross‑round temporal misalignment and insufficient long‑range memory.

Can LLMs Reason About Runtime Behavior? A Repository-Level Dynamic Benchmark

The paper introduces SWE-Flux, a repository‑level benchmark designed to test large language models’ ability to reason about runtime behavior. It contains 480 execution‑grounded instances from 12 real Python repositories, with gold answers automatically harvested from instrumented test executions. Evaluation of five LLMs shows the task remains difficult, with the best model achieving only 37% accuracy, and the benchmark can generate challenging variants through input perturbation.
