Wrong Design Intent Is Worse Than Never Conditioning: A Derangement-Control Diagnosis of Header Conditioning in CAD Program Completion

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2607. 23191v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Fine-tuned code LLMs are routinely conditioned on a design-intent specification, but the correctness axis of such a signal -- a wrong intent rather than an absent one -- has not been tested, and the benefit of conditioning is usually scored with the same detector that defines the signal.

Wrong Design Intent Is Worse Than None: A Derangement-Control Diagnosis of Header Conditioning in CAD Program Completion

arXiv:2607. 23191v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fine-tuned code LLMs can be conditioned on a lightweight design-intent header to steer parametric CAD generation, but whether the model actually reads the header's content has not been tested under a metric independent of the conditioning itself, nor with a causal control.

The Truth Was Never Gone: Perfect Aliasing in Compliant-Context Truth Probes

The paper introduces the concept of perfect aliasing, where a truth probe that aligns truthful reporting with a task’s prescribed action cannot differentiate between the two based solely on its labels. In a binary reporting game, probes fitted on compliant contexts yield identical optimizations, while on rival contexts their labels are complementary, causing their AUROCs to sum to one across 751 cell-layer pairs. By employing randomized codebooks and mixed-context fitting, the authors demonstrate that separating prescribed output symbols from semantic action enables perfect recovery of truth, achieving an AUROC of 1.000 on rival trials for a reward-trained Gemma-2-9B policy, whereas conventional probes perform near chance.
