ROSUM-MCTS: Monte Carlo Tree Search-Inspired HDL Code Summarization with Structural Rewards

Prashanth Vijayaraghavan, Charles Mackin, Luyao Shi +6

Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in code summarization, yet their effectiveness for Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) like VHDL and Verilog remains underexplored…

Revisiting Group Relative Policy Optimization: Insights into On-Policy and Off-Policy Training

Youssef Mroueh, Nicolas Dupuis, Brian Belgodere +6

We revisit Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) in both on-policy and off-policy optimization regimes. Our motivation comes from recent work on off-policy Proximal Policy Opti…

Multivariate Stochastic Dominance via Optimal Transport and Applications to Models Benchmarking

Gabriel Rioux, Apoorva Nitsure, Mattia Rigotti +2

Stochastic dominance is an important concept in probability theory, econometrics and social choice theory for robustly modeling agents' preferences between random outcomes. While m…

Distributional Preference Alignment of LLMs via Optimal Transport

Igor Melnyk, Youssef Mroueh, Brian Belgodere +6

Current LLM alignment techniques use pairwise human preferences at a sample level, and as such, they do not imply an alignment on the distributional level. We propose in this paper…

VHDL-Eval: A Framework for Evaluating Large Language Models in VHDL Code Generation

Prashanth Vijayaraghavan, Luyao Shi, Stefano Ambrogio +4

With the unprecedented advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs), their application domains have expanded to include code generation tasks across various programming languages.…
