Enhancing LLM Metacognition via Cognitive Pairwise Training
Weitao Li, Hao Zhou, Xuanyu Lei +11
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has become central to LLM reasoning, but its outcome-level rewards can make models more willing to give confident answers when…
From Mirage to Grounding: Towards Reliable Multimodal Circuit-to-Verilog Code Generation
Guang Yang, Xing Hu, Xiang Chen +1
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are increasingly used to translate visual artifacts into code, from UI mockups into HTML to scientific plots into Python scripts. A circuit…
From Next-Token to Next-Block: A Principled Adaptation Path for Diffusion LLMs
Yuchuan Tian, Yuchen Liang, Shuo Zhang +10
Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) enable fast generation, yet training large DLMs from scratch is costly. As a practical shortcut, adapting off-the-shelf Auto-Regressive (AR) model…
Large Language Model for Verilog Code Generation: Literature Review and the Road Ahead
Guang Yang, Wei Zheng, Xiang Chen +14
Code generation has emerged as a critical research area at the intersection of Software Engineering (SE) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), attracting significant attention from bot…
Understanding Chain-of-Thought Effectiveness in Code Generation: An Empirical and Information-Theoretic Analysis
Naizhu Jin, Zhong Li, Guang Yang +2
Large language models (LLMs) achieve strong performance on code generation, but the mechanisms by which Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting helps remain unclear. We present a systemat…
An LLM-as-Judge Metric for Bridging the Gap with Human Evaluation in SE Tasks
Xin Zhou, Kisub Kim, Ting Zhang +6
Large Language Models (LLMs) and other automated techniques have been increasingly used to support software developers by generating software artifacts such as code snippets, patch…
