From Failing to Passing: Evolving Natural Language Prompt Optimization Rules for LLM Code Generation
Amal Akli, Melissa Akli, Cedric Richter +2
Large language models are known to be sensitive to prompt formulation. Even minor variations in wording can substantially degrade performance. This sensitivity reveals an opportuni…
When Prompt Under-Specification Improves Code Correctness: An Exploratory Study of Prompt Wording and Structure Effects on LLM-Based Code Generation
Amal AKLI, Mike PAPADAKIS, Maxime CORDY +1
Large language models are increasingly used for code generation, yet the correctness of their outputs depends not only on model capability but also on how tasks are specified. Prio…
Defective Task Descriptions in LLM-Based Code Generation: Detection and Analysis
Amal Akli, Mike Papadakis, Maxime Cordy +1
Large language models are widely used for code generation, yet they rely on an implicit assumption that the task descriptions are sufficiently detailed and well-formed. However, in…
One Model, Many Skills: Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning for Multitask Code Analysis
Amal Akli, Maxime Cordy, Mike Papadakis +1
Large language models have recently surpassed specialized systems on code generation, yet their effectiveness on other code-analysis tasks remains less clear. At the same time, mul…
When Prompts Go Wrong: Evaluating Code Model Robustness to Ambiguous, Contradictory, and Incomplete Task Descriptions
Maya Larbi, Amal Akli, Mike Papadakis +4
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance in code generation tasks under idealized conditions, where task descriptions are clear and precise. However, i…
