What's new

Existing retrieval methods provide such context through code similarity search, persistent whole-repository graphs, or LLM-driven graph exploration, but often incur high graph construction, reasoning, and token costs.

Key details

  • To implement a target function correctly, an LLM must identify reusable repository dependencies such as existing functions, APIs, and cross-file definitions.
  • Existing retrieval methods provide such context through code similarity search, persistent whole-repository graphs, or LLM-driven graph exploration, but often incur high graph construction, reasoning, and token costs.
  • Feature-oriented methods offer a natural view of software functionality, yet they mainly support requirement decomposition, planning, or feature editing rather than code dependency retrieval.
  • This paper presents \textbf{FeatLens}, a feature-guided dynamic code graph construction and retrieval approach for repository-level code generation.

Results & evidence

  • arXiv:2609.26480v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent code generation research has moved from isolated function completion toward repository-level generation in existing codebases.
  • Experiments on DevEval and EvoCodeBench show that FeatLens achieves the best DR@15 among sparse, dense, and graph-based baselines (0.501 and 0.460).
  • On DevEval generation, it obtains the highest DIR@1, reaching 52.91\% with DeepSeek-V3.2 and 53.58\% with GPT-5-mini, while maintaining competitive Pass@1 and producing shorter code.

Limitations / unknowns

  • Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
  • Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
  • Track whether independent teams report matching results.

  • A single-question configuration reaches Kendall correlations of 0.573 on RadEvalX and 0.398 on RadEvalExpert with expert error counts, outperforming an open natural language inference judge under matched decomposition and aggregation.
  • One support question per statement retains similar expert agreement to seven while using 43-45% fewer judgment input tokens.

Limitations / unknowns

  • Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
  • Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
  • Track whether independent teams report matching results.

Key details

  • My agent skills that I use every day to do real engineering - not vibe coding.
  • Developing real applications is hard.
  • Approaches like GSD, BMAD, and Spec-Kit try to help by owning the process.
  • But while doing so, they take away your control and make bugs in the process hard to resolve.

arXiv:2609.26124v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite the remarkable progress of LLM-based and knowledge graph-augmented Radiology Report Generation (RRG) methods, existing techniques still suffer from inherent defects.

Key details

  • Conventional LLM-only models lack structured medical prior knowledge, resulting in frequent medical hallucinations and low diagnostic interpretability.
  • Current knowledge graph-enhanced schemes adopt static one-round knowledge fusion with single-source knowledge, incapable of dynamic knowledge updating according to generation feedback.
  • This paper proposes a novel Multi-Agent Collaborative iterative framework for X-ray Radiology Report Generation, termed MAC-RRG.
  • Inspired by multi-agent technology, our framework constructs a closed-loop optimization paradigm based on task decoupling and collaborative reasoning.
