Compartment-driven Gaussian processes for uncertainty quantification of pharmacokinetic exposures

Sanjay Palta-Hill, Barbara Engelhardt, Edric Tam

Pharmacokinetic modeling is a crucial part of drug development. An important goal is to estimate patients' total and peak exposure to a drug over time, quantified by the area under…

SpecGuardBench: Can Coding Agents Construct Reliable Validation Harnesses from Natural Language Specifications?

Zhiqing Zhong, Mingyu Chen, Aoyang Fang +5

As coding agents become more capable, tests remain the primary evidence for judging whether their code is correct. Yet passing available tests does not establish that an implementa…

Do Tool Calls Execute as Intended? Measuring and Repairing Intent-Execution Correspondence in LLM Agents

Boyang Yang, Zhenhao Li, Ziyao Yang +4

Agents built on large language models (LLMs) build and run software through tool calls. A call reaches its program through several hops, and any hop can change the call without not…

Refine After Generation: Toward Correct and Concise Patches in LLM-based Program Repair

Wenqiang Luo, Jacky Keung, Xiaoyu Shi +4

Large language models (LLMs) have advanced automatic program repair (APR) to the point where agentic systems routinely resolve real-world, repository-level issues. Yet the generate…

A Single Patch Is Not Enough: Deterministic Fusion of Repair Candidates

Boyang Yang, Xiangliang Hu, Luyao Ren +4

Modern LLM coding agents are commonly evaluated using pass@k, but developers typically apply a single final patch in real-world settings. This pass@k-to-pass@1 gap is a post-genera…

PAFT: Preservation Aware Fine-Tuning for Minimal-Edit Program Repair

Boyang Yang, Zijian Cai, Shunfu Jin +1

Large language models (LLMs) are effective for automated program repair, but plausible patches that pass the full test suite often rewrite more code than necessary, increasing revi…

Beyond Localization: Recoverable Headroom and Residual Frontier in Repository-Level RAG-APR

Pengtao Zhao, Boyang Yang, Bach Le +2

Repository-level automated program repair (APR) increasingly treats stronger localization as the main path to better repair. We ask a more targeted question: once localization is s…

A Taxonomy of Prompt Defects in LLM Systems

Haoye Tian, Chong Wang, BoYang Yang +2

Large Language Models (LLMs) have become key components of modern software, with prompts acting as their de-facto programming interface. However, prompt design remains largely empi…

A Survey of LLM-based Automated Program Repair: Taxonomies, Design Paradigms, and Applications

Boyang Yang, Zijian Cai, Fengling Liu +5

Large language models (LLMs) are reshaping automated program repair. We present a reproducible hierarchical taxonomy that organizes 66 LLM-based repair systems according to where r…
