OpenRUA: Robot-Use Agents Are Zero-Shot Visuomotor Policies

Zhaoyang Chu, Earl T. Barr, Claire Le Goues +4

Coding agents are extending their reach into the physical world by writing and executing robot control programs. One might expect the agents to use the existing mature software sta…

A-JIT: Agentic Just-In-Time Software Construction

Mark Marron, Earl T. Barr

Traditional software delivery assumes a static paradigm: code is constructed prior to execution and deployed as a fixed artifact. We present Agentic Just-In-Time Software Construct…

Evaluating Inference-Time Defenses Against Package Hallucination in LLM-Generated Code

Alberick Euraste Djire, Iyiola E. Olatunji, Melissa Tessa +3

LLMs are increasingly used for code generation, yet they frequently hallucinate non-existent software packages, creating exploitable entry points into the software supply chain. We…

Failure as a Process: An Anatomy of CLI Coding Agent Trajectories

Xiangxin Zhao, Han Li, Shuaiting Li +4

Large language model (LLM) coding agents are increasingly deployed to autonomously perform software engineering tasks in terminal-based environments, making their reliability a gro…

TerminalWorld: Benchmarking Agents on Real-World Terminal Tasks

Zhaoyang Chu, Jiarui Hu, Xingyu Jiang +8

We introduce TerminalWorld, a scalable data engine that automatically reverse-engineers high-fidelity evaluation tasks from "in-the-wild" terminal recordings. Processing 80,870 ter…

Hallucination Inspector: A Fact-Checking Judge for API Migration

Marcos Tileria, Santanu Kumar Dash, Profir-Petru Pârţachi +1

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in automated software engineering for tasks such as API migration. While LLMs are able to identify migration patterns, they o…

Learned or Memorized ? Quantifying Memorization Advantage in Code LLMs

Djiré Albérick Euraste, Kaboré Abdoul Kader, Jordan Samhi +3

The lack of transparency about code datasets used to train large language models (LLMs) makes it difficult to detect, evaluate, and mitigate data leakage. We present a perturbation…

How Robustly do LLMs Understand Execution Semantics?

Claudio Spiess, Prem Devanbu, Earl T. Barr

LLMs demonstrate remarkable reasoning capabilities, yet whether they utilize internal world models or rely on sophisticated pattern matching remains open. We study LLMs through the…

Compressing Code Context for LLM-based Issue Resolution

Haoxiang Jia, Earl T. Barr, Sergey Mechtaev

Large Language Models (LLMs) are now capable of resolving real-world GitHub issues. However, current approaches overapproximate the code context and suffer from two compounding pro…

LLM-Powered Workflow Optimization for Multidisciplinary Software Development: An Automotive Industry Case Study

Shuai Wang, Yinan Yu, Earl Barr +1

Multidisciplinary Software Development (MSD) requires domain experts and developers to collaborate across incompatible formalisms and separate artifact sets. Today, even with AI co…

ContextBench: A Benchmark for Context Retrieval in Coding Agents

Han Li, Letian Zhu, Bohan Zhang +7

LLM-based coding agents have shown strong performance on automated issue resolution benchmarks, yet existing evaluations largely focus on final task success, providing limited insi…

Detecting Semantic Clones of Unseen Functionality

Konstantinos Kitsios, Francesco Sovrano, Earl T. Barr +1

Semantic code clone detection is the task of detecting whether two snippets of code implement the same functionality (e.g., Sort Array). Recently, many neural models achieved near-…

Excision Score: Evaluating Edits with Surgical Precision

Nikolai Gruzinov, Ksenia Sycheva, Earl T. Barr +1

Many tasks revolve around editing a document, whether code or text. We formulate the revision similarity problem to unify a wide range of machine learning evaluation problems whose…

Independent Test Generation for RESTful APIs

S M Sadrul Islam Asif, James Chen, Kennett Puerto Diaz +2

Modern REST API testing relies on brittle sequences of calls to build system state. These multi-step tests suffer from non-determinism, poor scalability, and a "reachability tax" w…

The Fact Selection Problem in LLM-Based Program Repair

Nikhil Parasaram, Huijie Yan, Boyu Yang +5

Recent research has shown that incorporating bug-related facts, such as stack traces and GitHub issues, into prompts enhances the bug-fixing capabilities of large language models (…
