Memorization Diagnostics for Code LLMs Should be Scale-Aware
Prateek Kumar Rajput, Abdoul Aziz Bonkoungou, Alberick Euraste Djiré +6
The extent to which large language models for code rely on memorization over genuine understanding remains highly debated. While current literature frequently reports widespread me…
On the Diffusion of Test Smells in LLM-Generated Unit Tests
Wendkûuni C. Ouédraogo, Yinghua Li, Xueqi Dang +5
LLMs promise to transform unit test generation from a manual burden into an automated solution. Yet, beyond metrics such as compilability or coverage, little is known about the qua…
Reinforcement Learning-Guided Chain-of-Draft for Token-Efficient Code Generation
Xunzhu Tang, Iyiola Emmanuel Olatunji, Tiezhu Sun +2
LLMs demonstrate surface-level fluency in code generation but struggle with structured reasoning tasks requiring correctness and semantic alignment. While Chain-of-Thought (CoT) pr…
MalLoc: Toward Fine-grained Android Malicious Payload Localization via LLMs
Tiezhu Sun, Marco Alecci, Aleksandr Pilgun +5
The rapid evolution of Android malware poses significant challenges to the maintenance and security of mobile applications (apps). Traditional detection techniques often struggle t…
Measuring LLM Code Generation Stability via Structural Entropy
Yewei Song, Tiezhu Sun, Xunzhu Tang +3
Assessing the stability of code generation from large language models (LLMs) is essential for judging their reliability in real-world development. We extend prior "structural-entro…
MT4DP: Data Poisoning Attack Detection for DL-based Code Search Models via Metamorphic Testing
Gong Chen, Wenjie Liu, Xiaoyuan Xie +3
Recently, several studies have indicated that data poisoning attacks pose a severe security threat to deep learning-based (DL-based) code search models. Attackers inject carefully…
