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…

HELO-APR: Enhancing Low-Resource Program Repair through Cross-Lingual Knowledge Transfer

Zhipeng Wang, Boyang Yang, Yidong Wan +5

Large Language Models (LLMs) perform well on automatic program repair (APR) for high-resource programming languages (HRPLs), but their effectiveness drops sharply in low-resource p…

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…

Large Language Models for Fault Localization: An Empirical Study

Yingjian Xiao, Weiwei Gong, Jianjun Huang +4

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong performance on code-related tasks, particularly in automated program repair. However, repair effectiveness often depends on ac…

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…

Input Reduction Enhanced LLM-based Program Repair

Boyang Yang, Luyao Ren, Xin Yin +3

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown great potential in Automated Program Repair (APR). Test inputs, being crucial for reasoning the root cause of failures, are always included…

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…
