LoLBench: Evaluating Coding Agents with Long-Horizon Proposals on Large Software Systems

Yun Peng, Zihan Wu, Zeyang Zhuang +6

Modern coding agents can deliver increasingly large repository-level changes, and recent benchmarks reflect this by emphasizing long-horizon tasks with large reference implementati…

A Unified Issue Resolution Benchmark for Requirement Clarification, Planning, and Code Generation for Coding Agents

Xin Zhou, Chun Yong Chong, Kisub Kim +11

Large language model-powered coding agents are increasingly used to modify existing code repositories, for example, by adding features or fixing bugs. Yet existing repository-level…

What Resolve Rate Hides: Trajectory Structure Diagnostics for Coding Agents

Rui Shu, Chun Yong Chong, Xin Zhou +6

Coding agents are ranked almost entirely by resolve rate: whether their final patch passes the target tests. Yet two agents can reach the same outcome through very different proces…

SemiScope: Disentangling Classifier Tuning and Joint Optimization in Semi-Supervised Security Classification

Rui Shu, Tianpei Xia, Jingzhu He

Background. Labeled data for security classification is scarce. Semi-supervised learning (SSL) propagates labels from a small labeled pool to larger unlabeled pools. Yet security a…

Predicting Health Indicators for Open Source Projects (using Hyperparameter Optimization)

Tianpei Xia, Wei Fu, Rui Shu +2

Software developed on public platform is a source of data that can be used to make predictions about those projects. While the individual developing activity may be random and hard…

Sequential Model Optimization for Software Process Control

Tianpei Xia, Rui Shu, Xipeng Shen +1

Many methods have been proposed to estimate how much effort is required to build and maintain software. Much of that research assumes a ``classic'' waterfall-based approach rather…

How to Better Distinguish Security Bug Reports (using Dual Hyperparameter Optimization

Rui Shu, Tianpei Xia, Jianfeng Chen +2

Background: In order that the general public is not vulnerable to hackers, security bug reports need to be handled by small groups of engineers before being widely discussed. But l…

Better Security Bug Report Classification via Hyperparameter Optimization

Rui Shu, Tianpei Xia, Laurie Williams +1

When security bugs are detected, they should be (a)~discussed privately by security software engineers; and (b)~not mentioned to the general public until security patches are avail…
