Code Transformation Rule Synthesis using LLMs: Potential and Limits

Axel Allain, Aymeric Blot, Djamel Eddine Khelladi +1

Due to their black-box nature, LLMs suffer from limited explain- ability and a lack of determinism. Their usage cost can also rise, particularly with repetitive tasks on large code…
